We are an association for all those who love to hear and play the organ and enjoy choral music. We hold a variety of events including talks, recitals and often there is an opportunity for those attending to play the organs we visit. We arrange visits to churches, chapels and other locations in the West Cheshire, Wirral and North-East Wales to see and hear interesting instruments.
Our next meeting: Saturday 26th April 1:00pm – 4:30pm St Helen’s Tarporley and St Boniface Bunbury
We 
shall begin our visit at St Helen’s Tarporley at 1:00pm where the organist, Chas Harden, will give us some details about the instrument and play for us before we have an opportunity to try the organ for ourselves. The 2/25 Willis / Jardine / Fletcher organ is described on the NPOR N04432.
At St Helen’s, 26th April is the Spring Afternoon Tea in the Done Room (church hall). This could probably enhance the afternoon as we may have extra Afternoon Tea visitors popping in to listen. And, for a small fee, we can enjoy tea, coffee and cake in the hall, raising money for church funds.
We’ll leave Tarporley for the short drive to Bunbury where we shall visit S
t Boniface church to see and play the three manual and pedal organ. We expect to arrive at St Boniface at about 3:00pm. This organ started life as a P. Conacher (Huddersfield) organ and was rebuilt by Willis (Willis IV) in 1968. The specification may be found on the NPOR: D01311. (There may have been some work carried out after the Willis rebuild.)
