First newsletter (sort of) for 2025!

2 calendars up for grabs□

Welcome to 2025 & the briefest of brief newsletters Mainly because a) everyone is on holiday and b) because I am late starting the competition for these 2 calendars, and I don't want the winners to miss ALL of January. A few weeks is bad enough. (I have soundly slapped my wrists and promised to do better next time.) So no Swellbox links this time but tune into February's newsletter for a resumption of normal transmission.  Start the year with a gorgeous calendar! Win one of two organ calendars So, if you would to own one of these, answer the simple question through the link below and if it's correct, you just might win. We have 2 of these lovelies to hand out, from the industrious publisher Dr J. Butz in Bonn. The organs are beauties from Germany, some of which I am sure you will recognise. The competition ends on January 10th so you don't have much time. GO!  Organists in the kitchen I hope you're keeping an eye on our Organists in the Kitchen series. Now 13 brave organists have flaunted their cooking skills (or otherwise) on the pages designed to show what busy people - and not necessarily those who love to cook - recommend as their go-to recipes between practice, services, concerts, travelling and even, with luck, relaxing. Each Monday a new recipe appears online here, with a little about the contributor. Check out the random dishes and let me know what you think. The latest contributions have hailed from radio show host Michael Barone in the USA and Sydney Town Hall organist Titus Greyner and we have tasty delights lined up for you in the weeks to come.  A jigsaw to pass away the time Gabler's Ochsenhausen organ is a really pretty polly. Complete this jigsaw and find why I fell in love with him many years ago.  See you in February, and have fun in the snow or surf, whichever hemisphere you frolic around in!  Jenny NB this is Dudley's idea of frolicking. Personally I think he has it about right.  Copyright © 2025 Friends of the Christchurch Town Hall Organ Trust, All rights reserved.
