About the Association
The Association seeks to encourage and promote interest in all branches of church music. It organises an active programme of meetings including concerts, recitals, competitions, visits and social events. The object of the Association, which has been existence for over forty years, is "to advance the education of the public in the study of the art of music with special reference to liturgical and organ music”. The association has been working within this formal aim but in a more relaxed way than the constitution might suggest.
Information is exchanged regularly through a Newsletter which is mailed to all members.
