Report - The Regal Cinema (aka. ABC, Odeon, MGM, Cannon) - Canterbury - July 2023

[Exploring With Oliver]

For all UK organ enquiries, www.npor.org.uk is the place to go. It ain't perfect and it's often out-of-date, but it's a fairly comprehensive and easy-to-use database - although it often has less information on cinema organs than church ones (for various reasons, including the semi-industrialised mass-production of stock model organs, the cinema organ was and still is viewed rather sniffily by the snobs of the organ world!).

Thanks for that, I never knew that website existed. I can now finish off a bit of the research I was doing on another cinema.

Information – The Cinema Organ Society can also be useful sometimes!

By the way, can anyone explain to me how I can get the restrictions placed on new forum members removed? I've been here twelve and a half years, just mostly an infrequent lurker, and I'm still not able to access user profiles, DMs or restricted areas of the forum, and my posts are still sent for moderation prior to publication...

Members receive those privileges the more they contribute, you've been a member for a number of years but have only posted 5 times. The more you contribute and interact the more of the forum you will get to see. This limits spam etc. nothin wrong with the occasional message. But it's easier for us to then keep the forum a much cleaner and better experience for the majority of members if we restrict new members until they've integrated themselves with the forum a bit more. We do of course appreciate all contributing members no matter how much they post. Hope this makes sense!
