The second meeting, on 6th February, was an internal meeting at which two members of the Club spoke. Potts spoke about "Sheep", outlining a calendar of procedure for a sheep farmer. The second speaker was Adcock, who spoke on "Poultry". Both lectures were illustrated by use of the epidiascope. At the third meeting, Mr. Kirby spoke on "Hill Sheep Farming", illustrating his lecture with ccloured slides. Mr. Kirby had taken most of the photographs himself and they provided a very striking accompaniment to his talk. At the final meeting of the term, Mr. Sneesby, an 0.P., described to the Club life in an agricultural college and answered many questions on that subject, based on his experiences at Seale-Hayne College, Newton Abbot. One visit was made during the term on 20th March to Messrs. Myers and Burnell at Dunnington. Here, members of the Club were shown many types of agricultural equipment as used in the Massey Harris-Ferguson system. W.I.M.

C.C.F. NOTES The term's training was, of course, hampered from time to time by the weather, and it is surprising how much it was possible to do outside. For example, the Recruits were able to carry out an exercise on Strensall Common, organised by Sgt. Chilman, and the N.C.O. Cadre spent the last parade of the term in an exercise on the old golf course area. Preparation for examinations has dominated training in most Sections; in the Signals Section, Corporals Beresford and Crowther are to be congratulated on gaining Instructors' Certificates.
