We have been celebrating 45 years since our usher, Allen Pollock began volunteering for Plymouth Arts Cinema. We would like to extend a wholehearted thank you to Allen for the many hours he has dedicated to our organisation.

In the past we have interviewed Allen about his memories of many years of cinema going, and you can watch/ read these here:
