Not this year, but this picture was in the local paper (Banbury Guardian) as publicity for the event. They took several similar ones during the day so perhaps there'll be something on their web site bu the computer here is so slow today it's been trying to load it for best part of half an hour. It was another good day and for my money Banbury have got it just right. I didn't count but there must have been about 20 organ in total dotter round the town and with the town criers competition going on the the town centre on the same day it was indeed a colourful - and loud - day. Takings were a bit down on pervious years but the mayor's charities still benefits by a reasonable sum. Well woprth a visit if you're on the area, usually the first Saturday of September. There's a good market too so something for everyone.
A couple of pages back in the same issue of the paper was the other picture. Geoff and Joan were at a local festival the previous weekend. The paper seem to have a thing about organ grinders with their arms round their organs. I've included this because when we first got Rosie Geoff was chairman of BOGA and helped us find our feet by passing on invitations local to us, some of which contacts we have kept up to become part of our regular circuit. Thanks Geoff and Joan .
