WEYHILL ELECTRONIC ORGAN SOCIETY
 |
Formed in April 2002, on the initiative of local resident, Terry Trevett (the current Secretary), the Weyhill Electronic Organ Society is the only such club in the Andover area or indeed within the Test Valley Borough.
With the help of a small committee, the Society's inaugural concert, featuring Nicholas Martin, was held on 18 July 2002. The event attracted a capacity audience, including the Mayor and Mayoress of Test Valley.
Thanks to the hard work of the committee and a few willing volunteers, combined with the support and co-operation of several local organisations, the enterprise very soon proved to be a worthwhile success.
The Society introduced the use of video projection equipment for concerts from May 2005 and all productions are now enhanced by this excellent acquisition. Grants from 'Awards for All' (Lottery), Hampshire County Council and Test Valley Borough Council helped the Society to achieve this improvement and members of the audience now have a clear view of the keyboards and pedals throughout every performance, thereby adding to their enjoyment of the monthly concerts.
