Secretary's Report. 
❖-M^- — 
Witli this issue of Biui) Xotks another volume of tlie 
( liil) [ournal is cc)nii)]ete(l. ('oni])nred with previous years I 
t)ii!ik ii siill liolds it> o'aii. and trust tlie nieinl)ers will be of ihe 
san.e opinion. 
As in past years I again ask more of our memlDers to 
contiibule copy, as our worthy Editor, Mr. Paye, must find il 
heavy work to till the gaps with articles, which cannot be 
written in a few minutes. 
I )uring the past year many have resig'ned membership, 
owing' to having' dismantled their aviaries during the war, and 
are not renewing them. We have, however, elected 24 Xcw 
•Members during the year. Cannot we more than double this 
in KjJi and so sig'nalise the Coming" of Age year of the Club ? 
During the past twelve months a g'oodly num1)er of 
i'Oreign I^>ir(ls have ag'ain come on the market, and these soon 
loimd piu'chasers. Many liaxe, 1 know, gone to old men.bL-rs 
of "ihe ( Inb. hnl many also ha\ e l)een ])urchase(l a vicull urist s 
who would, no doubt, become members if our Club were made 
known to lhem: ami 1 ask any of otir members who come in 
contact with a\iculturists who are not members of l''.]5.C.. to 
make the Club and its advantages known to them, and to 
endeavour to get them to join us. In this way, if you canntjt 
contribute an article on your own birds or on some matter of 
avicultural interest, and there must be many who can and do 
not, do yoiu" best to i)ropose at least one new member during 
1921. 
If every one will push together, not only will the gaps on 
our roll be filled, but our meml)ership will exceed jire-war 
number; and Bird Xoiks will ^till continue to be a fonrnal to 
be justly proud of.
