British Organ Grinders Association
Welcome to BOGA!
The British Organ Grinders Association was set up in 1991 by Peter Churchard along with a handful of British enthusiasts who decided that some kind of club was needed for hand-turned organ enthusiasts. Since those days, the British Organ Grinders' Association has grown to over 500 members all over the world.
The association produces a newsletter: 'Organ Grinders News', which is sent free to members four times a year.
There are also two meetings a year for members to get together, usually at a mechanical music museum or similar venue.
You do not need to own an organ to join BOGA, and you do not need to live in Britain. Anybody with an interest in hand-turned organs can join. The UK subscription is £15 per year.
If you would like to join BOGA you can email the membership secretary, or write: John Webb, 36 Rochester Way, Twyford, Banbury, Oxon. OX17 3JX.
