Magazine Volume 11 No 119 - Issue 349

This was the first magazine to be edited by Maurice Large, who was taking over from Dorothy Bagnall. He was also the editor of Lea Valley`s in house magazine, "Pasteboard Press", and he speaks in his editorial of how he plans to change the layout and add more pictures, with assistance from the new typesetters, T. & B. Mansfield of Stanstead Abbots, and the new printers, who were Steans Printers Ltd. of Hoddesdon - though he admits that these pictures will only be in monochrome. 

Table of contents

The front page of this magazine has no contents, for the first time in many years. Instead the contents are on the first true page. For some reason the page numbers are after the title, which will make it harder to line up so I have moved these to the front, as follows : 

• inside front - adverts for Murray Cards (International) Ltd and Collectors World Ltd.

                            "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
