ROCKHAMPTON RAILWAY CAMERA CLUB
A meeting of the newly-formed Rockhampton Railway Camera Club was held on Wednesday night, and a very pleasant time was spent. Several ladies have joined the club, and others have decided to become members, bringing the membership to thirty. One of the principal aims of the club is to instruct beginners in the art of photography. Several members intend to offer trophies for beginners and also for those more advanced, and it is likely there will be keen competition. A good darkroom is being fitted up and it will be available at any time. The fees are within the reach of all, being 1s. initiation and 1s. per month.

The following are the officers: Patrons, Messrs. J. McGrath and F.W. Davison; president, Mr. A. Poole; vice-presidents, Messrs. J. Donnelly, G. Burrows, M. Toyne, J. Hunter, F. Roberts, R.
