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 2008 event at this venue was a fantastic success. 50 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 2009 rally  will be held at the usual venue in Victoria Park Widnes on the 26th and 27th of September.

Entry forms for the 2009 rally can be obtained by emailing me at: george@fairorgan.com

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 March 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 January, we hold our Model Night, where members display their collections of fairground, vehicles, vintage wireless, etc. After the February meeting we also have an auction of unwanted items, which is conducted by member George Howard, resulting in a very welcome cash addition to group funds.
