About Buckley and District Organ Society

Buckley and District Organ Society was formed in August 1997. It owes it's existence to the dedication and direction of the men who now comprise it's committee. Many of you will remember Harold Mouncey, who was our Honorary President, during the time he had his "Golden Oldies" business here in Flintshire.. Until we became the proud owners of a new Yamaha AR-100, we played "Golden Oldies" generously loaned to us by Harold. The Clubs AR-100 was bought with the aid of a grant from the Welsh Arts Council. The remainder of the money was raised by members of the Organ Society.

Buckley is a town unique in all of Wales. It has a culture, dialect and history very different from the Welsh border communities which surround it. There is a keen interest in music, particularly brass bands. In fact, several Committee members, in addition to being organists, are band members too.

Every summer, the whole town turns out for the Buckley Jubilee Parade which includes local churches, brass bands and businesses. This celebration has its roots in the temperance movement of the 19th century.

The unique dialect of Buckley is, of course, fading out with the advance of modern communications and travel, but the pride in what Buckley was, and is now, will always be there.

The club usually meets on a Tuesday evening at 8.00pm
