The organist librarian

Fascinating visit to Freemasons Hall. Dennis gave us an excellent tour and the restored organ is very fine. I played Moore and Thiman. There are women masons and Catholics do join. Catenians heavily influenced eg titles, regalia, room arrangement, Grand this and that which has thankfully gone. This innocent post on Facebook brought forth a tirade in which I was accused of promoting Masons who are demonic! I left the Catholic Man Uk discussion group as a result as one Paul Priest's posts were not monitored or removed. So rude and so un Christian. To Selsdon De Vere for Kairos Community Trust dinner after the golf day. Service was very slow! I was starving. Nice chat to Mary and Michael and the Aitkins. Watched 3 programmes on the Ritz hotel.

Drove to Arundel cathedral to play the fine Hill organ - the staff were very friendly. Cod and chips at St Mary's Gate Inn. The dog did it's best to get some.I think they may be a cricket match? Rain stopped play and it meant a miserable drive home on a packed M23. To the Grand Lodge for recital by Henry Fairs a large audience and splendid sound. Great we could see his hands, feet and talking to us. 3 cameras I presume. I liked the Florentz and Vierne. Rachmaninoff, Elgar and Schumann and Whitlock Fanfare. When we visit in September must bring romantic music. What a grand place! Liz went with Bruce to oils presentation.
