AUCKLAND CAMERA CLUB.

PERMANENT CLUBROO.MS. The Auckland Camera CT.ib, which for many vcars has met in Messrs. Holland and Sons' premises, Victoria direct, has just made an important advance by securing permanent rlubrooms, which will be formally opened in about a fortnight's time. The rooms, which are situated in Caxton Chambers, Swanson Street, arc excellently suited for the purpose. The cost of fitting them for occupation has been subscribed by thr members, who have formed a working 'bee, and are carrying out moat of the alterations themselves. A large room, over ■20ft square, will be used for the monthly gatherings and lectures, and will also be at the disposal of members as a clnbroom. An ample darkroom, which will have a double door arrangement to enable users to enter and leave without admitting light, is being provided with sinks, shelves, and all the necessary iv tures. and a large set of lockers for individual members' apparatns is also to be out in. The committee feels that all, concerned will benefit by the possession of a permanent meeting-place, while the arrangements for changing plates and for developing, etc. will be appreciated by many photographers who are unablr to carry out these operations convenient] v at home. The clnb already owns a fine lantern, and it is expected that members will be ai>lt* to make regular use of this for enlarging. Photographers who wish to offer themselves for election as member? may obtain full information from the secretary, Mr. B. H. Wyruan, Victoria Arcade.
