COMMITTEE FOR 1908, 
Miss Homfray, H. B. Curwen, A. Denman Jones, E. Staniland 
Pugh, B. Park, H. Roger-Smith, R. W. Wylie, and H. Nevil Smart 
(Hon. Sec.). 
The Section has been more active this year than in previous 
years, although the membership has not greatly increased, the 
attendance at the meetings having been doubled on many occasions. 
It may have been noticed that the name ‘“‘ Hampstead Photo- 
graphic Society” has been used on notices when the Section has 
been referred to. This has been done with a view to attract pros- 
pective members who may read about the doings of the Section 
in the photographic press, and to secure a valuable title. 
The Annual Lantern Slide Competition was held on Feb. 19th, 
and proved to be a very keen one. J. Ettlinger and J. B. King 
were awarded certificates for the best slides shown. 
On May 23rd an outdoor meeting was held at Burnham Beeches, 
which was better attended than on any previous occasion. The 
weather was ideal for photographic work, and the outing was a 
great success. 
The date of the Annual Exhibition having been fixed for January, 
1909, instead of December, no exhibition was held during the 
year 1908.

Blyth on her marriage. She was Hon. Secretary of the “A” —
