Bulletin
The Bulletin is published quarterly from 2023 - previous years having been bi-monthly. It is free to members and contains:
- Wide-ranging articles about cinema and theatres
- Photographs - both modern and from our archive
- Information on CTA Visits and Events - both past and future (including booking details)
- Details about many other cinema-related events
- Casework Reports - about our campaigns to save and preserve historic cinemas
- Details of New Publications (from the CTA and others)
- Newsreel - a comprehensive roundup of all the latest news about cinemas and the cinema business
- Members' letters
Particularly for members wishing to fill gaps in their collections, back issues of the CTA Bulletin may be purchased from the Sales Officer.
The prices, including postage, are £6.00 per copy for the current and previous year's issues, and £2.00 per copy for earlier years.
A complete year (6 issues until the end of 2022, 4 issues thereafter) prior to last year may be purchased for the reduced price of £7.00. Please download and fill in this form, and post your order with payment to the Sales Officer
The last editions of Bulletin are shown below. Hover over each cover for a brief resume of the contents. Sample "lite" editions are available to read up to Vol 57 No 2 only.
Please note that an exorbitant increase in website costs means we have had to disable the membership login system. Consequently, there is not currently a way to download full PDF files of Bulletin issues.
