expressed keen interest in the colour and black and white processing systems. A new continuous colour processing apparatus was demonstrated. Over the year the Society has gained in the treasury, for the Christmas Term membership was a record. There were six meetings, five of them well attended. Darkroom use increased and several members are producing enlargements. The introduction of house representatives improved the efficiency of the Society and we thank them for their hard work. It is with regret that the Society bids farewell to Mr. Robinson, our President for so many years. All who have passed through the Society will remember how well he steered the latent interest of many boys into a fully productive photographic venture. R.T.J.
C.C.F. NOTES After fifteen years service in the Contingent, Captain Craven is retiring from it at the end of annual camp. In the general training, but particularly at Army camps, it is mathematically correct to number in hundreds the cadets who have learnt much from Captain Craven's ingenuity and inspiration, and from the exacting standards that he always expected. It should not pass without remark, the value a Contingent enjoys from an officer with war experience of a specialised kind; for Captain Craven operated with that select band in Burma, known as the Chindits. We thank him for his work with the C.C.F. Most of the term's training was directed towards the annual inspection, and much effort was rewarded with an outstanding report on the Contingent by the Inspecting Officer and his staff officers. All three Service Sections can take pride in the fact that they rate very high in regular Service opinion. At the end of term fifty-five cadets went off to camp at Cultybraggan, while many of the Royal Navy Section went to various courses. The Royal Air Force Section, of course, had its annual camp at Easter. The traditional C.C.F. contribution at Commemoration was the Band display, under Drum Major J. F. Brown, but this year the Royal Navy Section put on a splendid "public relations" programme in and around the Seamanship room. The East and West Ridings shoot was again won by a team which is, in effect, a third four, since the rules preclude Bisley competitors, and there have been many other shooting successes which are given in detail elsewhere. Sailing and boating have become popular parts of C.C.F. training and leisure activity, and there is now starting a scheme to enable C.C.F. members to compete for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award in the normal course of training. MAIN EVENTS OF THE TERM June 7th : March Past. The Salute was taken by Captain A. Craven, Training Officer of the Contingent. June 14th : Annual Inspection by Captain F. Watson, R.N., Commanding Officer, H.M.S. Ganges.
R.N. SECTION This term eight recruits joined the section, and during the term six of them passed the A.B. exam. This was the result of a great deal of voluntary effort for which they should be congratulated. L/Sea's. Harrison, Bird and Fairhurst passed Advanced Proficiency and A.Bs. Shannon, Pilling and Pettinger passed proficiency during the term. 31
