What is a MOOS AGM?
Our Annual General Meeting is one big social gathering...
|
Every year, we aim to achieve big things and we encourage our membership to bring thoughts on how to move the society forward to the next level. Also the meeting length is kept to the minimum, as we understand these AGM's are more of a social gathering. Therefore plenty of time for food, drink and organ music!

2020 AGM weekend POSTPONED
It’s been a difficult decision for our committee, but we’ve decided to postpone our 2020 MOOS AGM which was due to be held in Scarborough on Saturday the 4th April.
The the time of writing, the AGM is just three weeks away, and with reports suggesting the Covid-19 coronavirus will be getting towards it’s peak, we felt we needed to make a decision as soon as possible.
Although this is very disappointing, we have spoken with Graham and Julie at the Scarborough Fair Collection, who have kindly agreed to host a later MOOS Social Event in the Autumn. Watch this space for details.
We hope you will enjoy some Mechanical Music during the 2020 season and have our fingers crossed there won’t be too much disruption for those volunteers, planning committees, attendees and associated fundraising.

AGM Memories
In 2019, the AGM was in Suffolk visiting Jonathan Ling and The Grange Collection. On Sunday we enjoyed a trip to Thursford Founders Day.
In 2018, the AGM went to Cornwall to the Ian Rogers Collection. We also visited collector Robert Hough in Devon, Peter Phillips, the custodian of the Anderton and Rowland Grand Organ, and Dingles Fairground Heritage.
In 2017, the AGM visited a hidden gem in Spilsby. The collection belongs to MOOS Member David O Connor. We couldn't believe the variety of organs and other mechanical music instruments.
The 2016 AGM visited the collection of Russell Cook, Shropshire. Nearly everyone saw and heard instruments which were 'new to the ears' and it was great to enjoy a sandwich and a natter in the sunshine! Thank you Russell and family.
The 2015 AGM went to the St Albans Organ Theatre, with their superb collection of Dance Organs in this wonderful nostalgic setting.
