To the right is a photograph of some of the original members and the main officers elected. The M. P. for Maidstone, Mr. A. Bossam who became its first President, Mr. B. Town as the Chairman, Mr. J. K. Reynolds became General Secretary and Treasurer, the office he held for the next 44 years. He was well regarded by members young and old and to them became known as Our Jack.

In January 1935 it held its first annual open show which attracted some 300 exhibits and was held in the Mechanies Hall of the Corn Exchange, Maidstone and remained there until the outbreak of the Second World War.

Although no show was held between the war years its monthly meetings carried on. 1945 saw the end of the war and although things were tight people still had their birds and the society really got going with its membership increasing yearly.

The annual show had been moved to the main hall of the Corn Exchange to accommodate the increase in the number of exhibits, with exhibitors from all over the country. There it stayed until 1978 when again having out grown the size of hall with some 1600 exhibits it moved to the T. A. Hall, London Road, Ditton, a much larger hall.

Over the years the society never forgot its members and always strived to keep  them interested at the monthly meetings with talks, slide shows, table shows etc. and can be proud of having had and still have some of the finest Breeders, Exhibitors and Judges within its membership:
