wp2d3df338.pngThe Musical Museum located in Brentford was our chosen venue for the handover of the Club Presidency from Fred Fox to Mike Abbott which took place on the evening of Tuesday 7th July 2009. We enjoyed a full attendance of Fellows, partners and friends of the club.

The Museum's Wurlitzer was actually built in 1929 as a residence instrument, but it was very soon enlarged and re-installed in the Regal Cinema, Kingston-upon-Thames in 1932.  Although the Theatre Organ was originally designed to accompany silent films, not many were installed in cinemas in the U.K. before 'talking pictures' were introduced.
