Rudgwick Steam and Country Show
Does anyone know which organs will be at Rudgwick, West Sussex, this Bank Holiday weekend?

In answer to the above question I will be attending the Rudgwick Steam and Country Show this weekend with my 1922 Ruth model 36b Fairground Concert Organ (78 Keyless) on the Sunday and Monday ONLY. I believe two other organs will be on site, but I have no details of what they are. The Rudgwick Steam and Country Show takes place just outside the village of Rudgwick near Horsham in West Sussex (off the A281 Guildford to Horsham Road). It is well sign posted from the A281. Opening times are 10.30 am - 5pm, admission is £7 for adults £4 for children. It is quite a large show and has been running for 22 years now. Please note the Ruth will be there on Sunday and Monday ONLY.

We were at Rudgwick today. There were just two organs; the 31 keyless D Leach 'BellPee' which was playing well and another organ (not playing, but with 'piped' organ music') on a carousel. I wasn't familiar with the organ but it had glass/perspex 'protecting' the pipes at the front of the organ which had the inscription 'Que sera, sera'. I was disappointed that there weren't others. Nevertheless it was a very good show! Sorry to be missing your 36b Ruth again, Paul.

phew! That was good fun! http://www.flickr.com/search/show/?q=rudgwick&w=27960849%40N07&s=int
