This group is concerned mainly with British cinema pipe organs installed in cinemas and concert halls in the inter-war period. It is for the discussion and exchange of information about these instruments to help those of us restoring, maintaining and playing them in our work and aims. Discussions and postings should be light hearted, factual, perhaps amusing or at least reasonably interesting. Any postings which are derogatory, deemed pointless by the moderator or liable to cause offense or upset will be disallowed. Overseas members are welcome and whilst mention of foreign instruments is fine, the principal topics of conversation should be about organs or organists residing or originating in the UK.
