Today I got the following information from the 'Stichting Draaiorgel- vrienden Assen' :

21. 125-key Dance Organ of Wempe/Vooges, Santpoort
22. DE NOTENKRAKER of HV, DW

If the weather is good, a part of the rally will take place outside. The organs will play one after the other, like inside the hall. If the weather is not good, the priority of playing is given to the guest- organs. There are no small organs this year. Due to the high cost of renting a tent, this is scheduled once every two years.
Entrance NLG 5,-- pp. Children up to 12y: NLG 2,50. Children up to 6y: free adm. Friends of the Stichting Draaiorgelvrienden Assen have a free adm. for 2 pers.
Address: Rode Heklaan 3, 9401 SB Assen (the Netherlands) (about 150 km's North-East of Amsterdam) Every 2nd and 4th sunday of each month free concerts of 13:00 - 17:30
KRING VAN DRAAIORGELVRIENDEN
A lot of information like the above can be found in the quarterly journal 'Het Pierement' of the KDV (Kring van Draaiorgelvrienden).
Besides the articles (in Dutch) and the beautiful pictures, you'll find a section with addresses of musea and societies all over the world, an agenda of rallies etc. in and outside the Netherlands, advertisements, CD's and MC's for sale by mail order, review of books, CD's, MC's, etc. Annual subscription: Inside NL: NLG 40,--; outside NL: NLG 50,-- (1 NLG is approx. 0,60 US$). For more information: J. Meijer, Voermanstraat 152, 4204 RK Gorinchem (the Netherlands).
The KDV is not yet present on the MMD or the WWW. Robbie Rhodes asked me to try to persuade the board of the KDV to get active on this list one of these days. I'll do my best.
For the meanwhile you may use my e-mail adress, I'll transmit the messages to and from the board of the KDV.
