Kent County Organists' Association
KCOA Mission Statement
The Kent County Organists' Association (KCOA) is affiliated to the Incorporated Association of Organists (IAO) and consists of almost 100 members. The object of the Association is to promote the friendly interchange of ideas on all matters of interest to organists and choir directors. With the exception of August and January monthly meetings are held on Saturdays and include recitals, lectures, discussions and visits to places of interest in various parts of the county and sometimes further afield.

If enough people are interested, we might eat locally before the meeting. Sadly, the Five Bells (Peter Warlock's pub!) does not serve food, but there is the Malt Shovel, almost exactly opposite the turning for Lullingstone.
