The group organize an annual rally so that all enthusiasts can gather together at the end of the rally season for a social weekend.

The 2010 event at this venue was a fantastic success. 40+ Organs attended in addition to a record attendance of  vintage cars, motor cycles, commercials, crafts and funfair, etc. On the Sunday, an auction of collectable's was held.

The 2011 rally  will be held at the usual venue in Victoria Park Widnes on the 24th and 25th of September.

The Fair Organ Preservation Society (FOPS) are an organization whose aim is to encourage an interest in Fair Organs and mechanical music in general.

The North West Group meetings are usually held on the 3rd Friday of the month, from September to November and February to April at the Shawe Hall Community Centre on Church Road Urmston Manchester, commencing at 7:30pm, when everyone interested in our hobby is assured of a warm welcome.

Meetings are generally well attended by 35 to 50 members and friends. After a short business session, we have an interval of about 30 minutes when refreshments are served. This is usually followed by an illustrated talk, a film/video show or a quiz, finishing around 10:00pm.

At the annual general meeting, held in February, we hold our Model Night, where members display their collections of fairground, vehicles, vintage wireless, etc.
