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

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

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