A warm welcome to our Association

Whether you love listening to this fabulous instrument or enjoy playing it, we welcome you to join us, the Suffolk Organists' Association. Each year we publish a Journal. We offer opportunities to visit churches throughout the county and further afield, recitals and lectures. We offer bursaries and advice to those of any age who would like to advance their abilities with the instrument.



Our Association reached its 90th Anniversary on February 10 this year.

This is a milestone of which all members past and present can be very proud.

Robert Waller, our President Elect has now been organist there for 50 years and in celebration of his long and valuable service, members of the congregation organised a party with an organ recital by Robert as described on this programme sheet.

A new Rector was appointed for the benefice of Orwell and villages in November 2023. The organist, Malcolm Gee, who played for his Installation service has very recently died after 62 years of service to St. Martin's Church, Nacton. They are looking for a person to take up this post.

We welcome Fiona Bodmer as a new member who lives in Great Bentley. She is being asked to rehome an 1780 Harris house organ.
