The British Organ Grinders Association

The British Organ Grinders’ Association was formed in 1992 by a group of hand-turned organ enthusiasts to represent the interests of organ grinders and to provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas specifically of interest to them. 
​
The objectives of the Association include the following: 
* To promote and publicise members’ activities 
* To publish a newsletter reporting subjects of interest to organ grinders 
* To provide an information service for members 
* To encourage social and other gatherings of members 
* To promote an interest in street organs and mechanical music 

Members receive: 
* A quarterly newsletter, for the whole year of membership 
* Official membership/ID Card 
* Personalised button lapel badge(s) 
The British Organ Grinders’ Association is non-profit making and all members involved in the administration give their time without charge. All expenses necessarily incurred are accounted for and subject to regular checks by a qualified auditor. 

Membership is open to anyone owning, or simply having an interest in, hand-turned organs and can include partners or other members of one family at no extra cost. 

Further information may be obtained from the Membership Secretary, John Webb on 01295 810317 or email: theorganman@btopenworld.com, or any member.
