Summary

A blank entry form for Poultry, Pigeons, Budgerigars & Cage Birds, and Women's Industries entrants at the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria Combined Show, held at the Melbourne Exhibition Building, 25-28 September 1940. During World War II, the showgrounds were requisitioned by the Defence Department for use by the RAAF No 1 Aeronautical Engineering School. This meant the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria had to find alternative sites for its annual show, like the Exhibition Building in Carlton Gardens.

Physical Description

A printed form with black text and a large six column table. The form has two hole punches at the top.
