                              "Back page or inside front cover page £2 10s. 6d. Half page £1 10s. 6d. One third page £1 0s. 0.d. Small ads. 2d per word. Standing copy 4 insertions for the price of 3. Cash with order to the Editor. 
                        Sale of Reference Books -
                              A half price offer, primarily designed to encourage joining Cameric Club members to buy copies of the first twenty-one Society Reference Books to add to their libraries. However six booklets were not included as they were out of stock. These were 1 (Faulkner), 2 (Hill), 3 (Part one of the Wills booklets), 4 (Gallaher), 5 (Abdulla, Adkin, Anstie), and 6 (Ardath).

A curious omission to the above contents is the fact that the inside front cover gives a list of the officials of the Society, (as well as alterations to membership). I list the former here simply so to make it easier when, in the distant future, I get around to adding the Cameric magazines. And they were as follows : 

  • President and Chairman - Mr. W. M. Wright 
  • Executive Vice President - Mr. F. V. Blows (who had been the final editor of the "Cameric Notes and News" magazine)
  • Honorary Secretary (Correspondence and Back Issues Controller) - Mr. E. G. Knight
  • Treasurer (Subscriptions and Finances) - Mr. E. F. Pressey
  • Research - Mr. Edward Wharton-Tigar
  • New Issues - Mr. Clifford Duge
  • Editor and Advertising Manager - Mr. A. E. Arnold 
  • Approval Book Service Controller - Mr. J Rowe
  • Postal Auction Secretary - Mr. K. Gillyon
