KOI CLUBS

South East Koi Club
During the winter months our meetings are held on
the fourth Sunday of each month at 2.00pm at
Chelsfield Community Centre, Windsor Drive, Chelsfield,
Nr Orpington, Kent BR6 6HD. We sometimes move our
meeting date to avoid our All England Koi Show,
Christmas, and sometimes if it coincides with another
Club activity. Details of our meeting dates can be found
on our website.

Our programme of events cover all aspects of the care
and welfare of Koi and include guest speakers with a
specialist knowledge of one or more aspects of the
hobby: including pond building and filtration; precautions
and treatment against parasites and other ailments;
purchasing new Koi and what to look for; also breeding
and raising small Koi, to name but a few topics;
refreshments are on sale too.

Our Club has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in all
aspects of the hobby and our new Club members can
always get help and advice.
We produce ‘Spotlight’, our newsletter, carrying news
and a diary of coming events, this is also available to
members on-line.

During the summer months we meet at Koi Shows,
Club member’s gardens to view their ponds and make
visits to Koi dealers. Sometimes in the summer months
we run pond visits to other Koi Clubs and BKKS Sections.
Effectively, this means we board a coach, travel to
another part of the country, meet our hosts, who show us
around their ponds and gardens. What better way to get
more ideas for constructing your pond, learning someone
else’s Koi keeping methods and making new friends.
Every year The All England Koi Show takes place at the
Kent County Showground, Detling, this spectacular event
celebrated its 36th Annual Show in September 2023.
