The Annual Enthusiasts Day at Cotton Mechanical Music Museum,
Blacksmiths Road, Cotton, near Stowmarket, Suffolk, England,
IP14 4QN, will take place from 10 a.m. on Sunday, October 5, 2014
(always the first Sunday in October). It is the last day of their
season before they close for the winter.
All larger instruments in the museum -- the fair organs and the
cinema organ -- will be played all day. I have been told by the
organizer that there will also be 28 visiting organs this year,
from small hand-cranked to larger trailer-mounted instruments,
playing both inside and outside on the grounds.
This is a wonderful day out with steam road engines as well.
There are usually a few different and new exhibits each year and
there is also a large raffle to raise money for museum funds.
I will be having a sales stall at the event and hope to meet many
friends there, old and new. If you need anything in particular,
please email me before 3 p.m. on Saturday, 4th October, so I can
be sure to pack it for you. I will be offering books and CDs at
a discount to clear my stock. The museum is situated just off
the B1113, six miles north of Stowmarket, Suffolk. See
