The Concert was a great success with profits of £3.000.00 which have been sent to the local cancer charity, Big C in Jimmy’s memory as he had supported that charity for many years with the raffle at the Christmas Party..
 
The concert was an evening with a difference. A quality BBQ outside from about 5.30pm and light refreshments available in the museum. Jimmy’s beloved Burrell Showman’s engine was in steam nearby with its coloured lights lit by electricity from its own generator. Other steam engines were also  in steam to add to the uniqueness of the occasion.

The Christie organ spent its working life at Reigate cinema where it was installed in October 1935 at a total cost of £1900. In its first year £30 secured twelve monthly visits to tune and service it. The organ was removed to the Reliance Garage at Kings Lynne in 1973 and Ted Ransom sold it in 1982 to Rollie Walker at Wellingborough. Robert Ince rebuilt the organ on site and in 1997 was asked to dismantle and rebuild it at Strumpshaw ready for the annual Christmas party. He has maintained it since then.
