One can imagine no more uphill game than trying to carry on a poultry club under war conditions, with members in the Services or engaged in civil defence, and food both expensive and difficult to get. But the Downham Poultry Club, near Bromley, Kent—one of the oldest poultry clubs in England—has succeeded in keeping the flag flying in spite of the blitz. The members still turn up and keep going despite the bombs. Members of other poultry clubs who have been finding it hard to carry on in wartime may find encouragement in this talk by the secretary of the Downham club today.
