Lichfield and District Organists' Associaton has only recommenced in 2007 after disbanding in 2002. It began in 1926 and has had visits mainly locally and an Annual Dinner, which we hope will continue. The recently reformed Associatin had its first meetingin May 2007, at Little Aston Church, where the organ was recently overhauled. The talk was given by Jim Molineux (Organ Builder). The July 2007 AGM was very successful and we managed to arrange future events for 2008. Events
