Tuesday 29 September at 7.00 pm, ODOA will be visiting Trinity College. There are only 9 places available for this, so please let me know if you're interested, as soon as possible.
Thursday 15 October from 5.00 pm to 7.00 pm there is an ODOA visit to St Mary's Church, Henley. (Please note the early time.) Sebastian Thompson will meet us at the church and introduce the instrument, after which members may play.
November - Annual General Meeting. The date has not yet been finalised, but please consider attending (we hope we will be able to use the Greyfriars hall and church as last year). This is always a convivial occasion, with drinks and nibbles beforehand, a brief business meeting followed by an organ recital in the church, and usually a light supper in the refectory afterwards.
