The Cinema Organ Society (COS) was founded in 1952 by Hubert Selby and Tony Moss for those interested in organ music as entertainment.[1]

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

The COS[3] is organised into a number of districts around the UK, each with its own 'adopted' cinema organ.
