The Cinema Organ Society (COS) was founded in 1952 by Hubert Selby and Tony Moss for those interested in organ music as entertainment. The aim of the society is to preserve and promote the presentation of these wonderful instruments for the enjoyment of existing and future generations.[1]

It is for everyone interested in organ music as entertainment, with the emphasis on the cinema or theatre organ.[2]

The COS is organised into a number of districts around the UK, each with its own 'adopted' cinema organ - some in working order and others undergoing restoration.[3]
