SKCRETARY'S REPORT. 



The work of thi.s Section, during the past year, has been

 members to the necessity of doing something to increase their 

 number, and already things are booming on lines to compare 

 favorably with the growth of our city. 



Since our Annual Section Meeting in April, we have 

 secured new qnarters, and hope at an early date to invite all 

 interested in Photography to inspect these rooms, when there 

 will be such a rush of applications for membership that a 

 limit will have to be fixed upon. 



While we have rented new quarters apart from the 

 Association, we still retain our connection with the parent 

 body in so far as paying the proportion of fees as before and

 trust the Association will continue in return to allow us the 

 same proportion of rent, etc., as heretofore. 



We propose, with the consent of the Association, to form 

 a Junior Branch of our Camera Club for members under 17 

 years of age, at a reduced fee, but not to include such as 

 members of the Association, and therefore not pay the 

 Association Fee for these members. 



Apart from the foregoing, the most important part of the 

 past session was our Print Exhibition opened on the night of 

 the Association Opening Meeting, which was a great success 

 in numbers, quality of work, and the number of visitors who 

 viewed the Exhibition during the three days it was open to 

 the public. 



During the Session we had some most interesting lectures 

 and demonstrations of a Photographic nature, and for these
