I remember watching films there as a child and later the conversion to Bingo. I have also watched a film in the video cinema, this was especially leading edge technology at the time but also very unreliable and very poor and dark image quality. Little did I know at the time I would later work as a projectionist and later in life work along side John Hayward at the Ambassadors Woking who used to be a projectionist at the ABC Woking!
They were amazing days in the 80s when cinemas were cinemas A video Cinema was in my opinion was a non starter from the outset I worked at the ABC Woking for like over 20 years but things do move on from single screens to multiplexes from 35mm to Digital which of course does not need projectionists and with Digital projectors there is in my opinion not job satisfaction like projectionist use to have putting on a perfect show was the ultimate of the day second best was never a option Those days are now gone but with the projectionists still around wont be forgotton
