THE BERT ALLWOOD ALEXANDRA PALACE ORGAN SCHOLARSHIP
The Trustees of the Alexandra Palace Organ Appeal are appointing an Organ Scholar. The famous Willis 1873/1929 Grand Concert Organ is the last major concert organ in London awaiting restoration; the Trustees organise a series of fund-raising concerts and silent film accompaniments in the Great Hall.
The Organ Scholar will assist at four main concerts each year, and will be able to use the four manual organ, with 49 (out of 98 eventual) speaking stops, for regular practice. Someone with easy access to North London will be given preference. Candidates will undertake to do their organ practice at Alexandra Palace an average of at least once a fortnight.
Actual duties are few, and include helping at the four concerts and films each year, where they would be expected to turn up well beforehand to help up set up screens and projectors. They would be expected to take a general interest in the welfare of this extraordinary instrument. The Scholarship will be worth £500 plus reasonable expenses.
The Scholarship is given in memory of Bert Allwood, who regularly used to walk from Hampstead to hear the organ in the 1930s, when it was at its most magnificent.
For more information on the organ visit www.allypallyorgan.org.uk
Please send CV and 2 Referees to Hugh Macpherson <hughamacpherson@yahoo.co.uk> Flat 11 Forrest House, 42 Rochester Row, London SW1P 1BU.

Call for expressions of interest in directing RCO activities in N. England, N. Wales, and The Isle of Man
The Royal College of Organists is seeking to expand its teaching and accreditation activities across the UK, so as better to serve the needs of those who play the organ and direct choirs. A recent survey of the sector, conducted by the College, showed that there was demand for greater local delivery of such activities across a broader spectrum, ranging from beginners through to development opportunities for professionals, and embracing both secular and religious contexts. The College has responded to this in a number of ways, including that of introducing a devolved management structure across four areas of the country. Further information on the College’s activities and planned developments may be obtained from the website www.rco.org.uk and at https://www.rco.org.uk/irco.php.
This call invites expressions of interest in directing the College’s current and future activities in the North of England, North Wales, and The Isle of Man – from individuals or organisations. The attached brief outlines the role and I will be happy to discuss it informally if further detail would be helpful; please email me at philip.meaden@rco.org.uk to arrange a suitable time.
The role is available immediately and tenders may be submitted at any time until noon on 21 September. They should be sent to me at the email address given above, and should demonstrate clearly how the applicant is qualified to carry out the role as described in the brief, and the way(s) in which the various duties would be discharged. Please note that CVs alone will not be considered.
