The Woughton Association for the Prosecution of Robbers had an exciting case in September 1802, when one night, or early morning, someone broke into the duck house of Henry Holton and stole two ducks. For anyone who could bring the culprit to justice, a five guinea reward was waiting. In aims and ideals the Woughton Association was similar to that of Fenny Stratford, which, following the theft of his horse, had been founded the previous year by Dr. Gent. Yet although Fenny had been the pioneer in that instance, it would be Woughton which took the lead with a ‘pig club’ during World War Two. As a means to supplement rationing, this had been set up by Mr. Wilfred Shirley, and because of the success in February 1942 it was suggested that Bletchley should begin a similar example. Therefore at a 6p.m. meeting of the Wartime Domestic Food Production Committee, held at the Council Offices on Wednesday, March 11th, Mr. Shirley gave ‘very detailed information’ regarding the formation and running of such a club, and in consequence it was decided to start ‘The Bletchley Pig Club’, for ‘Bacon supplies may be restricted later on – make sure of yours now.’
