TASMANIAN AMATEUR MOVIE MAKERS CLUB
At an organizing meeting held at Kodak House, Hobart, on the 27th February, a club was formed by those interested in Amateur Cinematography called the Tasmanian Amateur Movie Makers Club. Such clubs exist in very large numbers throughout the British Empire and the Continent and prove of special benefit to their members. Such a club in Tasmania should be of very material help to the State in so much as it will be recording the many scenic wonders of Tasmania and such records will always be available to the Tourist Department.

The officers of the Club are;
