The Bournemouth and District Association of Organists has been in existence since 1947 (possibly earlier).

Areas covered by the Association are generally south-east Dorset and south-west Hampshire. This includes Poole, Bournemouth and The New Forest.

Part of the Association’s objectives are "to advance the education of the public in the study of the art of music with special reference to liturgical and organ music".

A meeting is held on most months during the year, ranging from arranged talks, visits to local organs, an annual full day outing to a major venue and an Annual Dinner. We have been pleased to enjoy trips abroad:

2011 - Paris

2012 - Toulouse

2013 - Amsterdam

2014 - Leipzig and Dresden

2015 - Vienna

2016 - Prague

2017 - Groningen, Holland

Social events also form part of our annual events.

Members receive a Newsletter published about four times a year, giving news of events and matters of local interest.

In 2003 the BAO became a Registered Charity.
