Is the Projected Picture Trust still active? A search on Google does not reveal any present activity. The last I heard is that they were looking for new premises to store their collection.
No doubt a collection of 35mm cinema projectors does need a lot of space.
Are any Forum members also members of the Trust?

Thank you, Keith, I obviously missed this in my search. Good to know a new home has been found for their vintage equipment.
I was speaking to Maurice Thornton who was responsible for the Curzon Collection at Clevedon and was asking about the cinema's Eiki xenon projector. He said it had been given to the P.P.T. some years ago but he wasn't sure if they were still going.

I believe there was an article about this move a recent Cinema Theatre Association newsletter.
