TBC – possibly Jenny from NFS – How to organise an event
17 Feb 2026
A talk from Good Nature – Pest Control
17 Mar 2026
AGM followed by ChickenAlia Auction
Meeting Format
We meet on the third Tuesday of each month (except for December when it is the second Tuesday) at 19-30 for 19-45 at the Radnor Hall, Bodenham, Nr. Salisbury, SP5 4EQ. This venue is 2 miles south of Salisbury just off the Ringwood Road, A338.
We aim to start on time as the main speaker may have travelled some distance to speak to us. Refreshment is available either during an interval or after the main speaker has delivered his/her presentation. This is followed by a poultry matters forum – a questions and answer session usually about bird health, breeding and housing, but any subject matter can be covered, tapping on the wide knowledge of members.
We run an egg competition (see under competitions) at most of our meetings and it is wise to come early to place your entries before the main speaker commences. A raffle with members donations helps keep the club on a sound financial footing.
Coming up
The next meeting is on Tuesday 17th June 2025 and will be our Summer BBQ. If you are coming along and haven’t agreed a “side” please email me – see contacts page.

This was a film night and we saw an entertaining documentary about the people who attend the Christchurch Poultry Club in New Zealand. They take the showing of their birds very seriously and the film followed some of the members in the months running up to the national show.
Also this evening, David brought in a rather large hen’s egg. When it was cracked open there was yolk, white and another whole egg complete with shell! This was the first time many members had actually seen this unusual event of an egg within an egg. This second egg, when cracked had a yolk and egg white.
