A BRIEF HISTORY

It was in April 1968 that the "Hammond Organ Society" (Jersey branch) was formed.  Some sixty people attended that evening at La Moye Hotel to witness the formation of this Society of Organ enthusiasts and listen to the music played by international organist and recording artiste, Keith Beckingham, who travelled to Jersey especially for the concert.

Our attractive venue

 

 

In 1981 the Society was renamed "The Jersey Electronic Organ Society" as a wider range of electronic organs became available to our members.

In September 2003 we relocated to The Gardeners Tea Room, at Ransom's Garden Centre, in the Parish of St. Martin.

 

Our committee with guest artiste Amgie DiggensOur move has proved very fruitful as we have more than doubled our audience and our Membership now stands in excess of eighty.

In the interval at our monthly concerts we serve a complimentary "SWEET TREAT" usually Pie and Custard (all very low calorie, of course!).   We also have a Members' draw, a Raffle and bar service till 9.30 pm.

 

 

We organise various socials during the year, Club Evenings, BBQ and Christmas Party all open to non Members, friends and our fellow music lovers from The Guernsey Society.
