Day Conference & Annual General Meeting 2025

Saturday April 12th 2025 – 10.30 for 11.00

The morning featured talks entitled ‘Wills, Willis and St Monica’s Care Home, Westbury-on-Trym’ with William McVicker and Owen Woods charting the history and technical detail of what was the Wills family house organ. In addition Ds Bertjan van de Lagemaat, Minister of the Dutch Church, provided a guided tour of rare books and church silver from their very fine collection.

After lunch the 2025 AGM took place with several issues being explored and ideas for the future shared. A copy of the Reports booklet shared at the meeting can be viewed and, if required, downloaded here. With the business concluded, we enjoyed a recital by Jason Tang and Hamish Wagstaff on the 1954 Willem van Leeuwen organ (restored by Flentrop) which installed in 1954 after the church was rebuilt following total destrution of the earlier building during WW II. We are most grateful to Professor David Titterington, organist of the church, for arranging our visit.
