The Annual Milton Keynes Organ Festival takes place on Saturday
10th and Sunday 11th October at Milton Keynes Museum, McConnell
Drive, Wolverton, Milton Keynes MK12 5EL, England.  See
http://www.mkmuseum.org.uk/  and
http://www.miltonkeynesmuseum.org.uk/organ-festival-10th-11th-october/ 

A large number of visiting fairground and street organs will attend
the festival, which will take place over two days, Saturday and Sunday,
10th and 11th October.  The festival has a relaxed atmosphere, and is
a nostalgic, interesting, low-cost event on a large site, some of which
is under cover.

The museum has a Victorian music parlour with a player piano and disc
musical boxes which have been repaired recently.  There is a street
re-creation with many old shops, a street barrel piano, a cinema, an
old school-room, etc., a transport hall, railway board-room, telephone,
radio and lawnmower sections.  There is a nice cafe as well for a good
day-out, with free parking.

I will be there for the two days with a sales stall inside the museum,
so do come and say hello.  I will have some _free_ copies of the "Music
Box" magazine available for anyone who might be interested in joining
us or simply finding out more.

Do let me know by 5 p.m. Friday evening if there is anything specific
you would like me to bring along for you.  And don't forget the Cotton
Museum Organ Day this coming Sunday 4th October.
