In explaining the struc-
ture of the club, Mr. Pettitt
said it has no executive
members and everything is
done on a very informal bas-
is.

The one thing all mem-
bers have in common is their
Pentax cameras.

“The Pent camera,” says
Mr. Pettitt, “ is a high price
model and the main function
of the club is to help people
with their cameras so they
get the most use from them.”
