Join Our Club

If you’re thinking of upgrading your goldfish pond or starting from scratch and would like to learn more about Koi and their requirements, why not join our club? You can learn from our mistakes (between us we have made quite a few!) rather than making the same, sometimes expensive and often heart-breaking mistakes yourself.

Our Annual Membership Fee is just £20.00 per annum, per household.

Regular Club Activities & Benefits

• Guest speakers and Koi related meetings.
• Summer activities including trips.
• Exchange visits with other Koi Clubs. We usually hire a mini bus for our members to visit the other club, it’s great fun travelling as a club.
• Grow & Show competitions. As a club we buy a box of Koi from Japan at a very competitive club price. These Koi are then brought by members and, if they want, they are grown on for a year and then judged to see which fish has developed the best. Good fun and a way of buying quality Koi at a very good price.
• Auctions –  Once a year we have a combined wet (fish) and a dry (equipment etc.). An excellent way of selling or buying Koi or pond equipment. Also very entertaining so worth a visit even if you have no plans to buy anything (we have all heard that one before!!!).
• Open Days – several members open their ponds to other club members. This is another splendid way of becoming acquainted not just with fellow members but also with the many variations of Koi ponds and filter systems.
• Member’s Magazine, a quality magazine issued monthly.
• Koi photo competitions. Held at a winter club night. It’s always interesting to see which Koi is voted as Grand Champion which is voted for by members in attendance. No cumbersome judging rules to consider, we just pick the prettiest fish!
• Koi Health – Do you have a health problem with your Koi? We have many members who are knowledgeable on matters concerning Koi health and also a dedicated Health Officer. If you keep Koi, this access is considered essential by many of our members.

Koi, which have been rudely likened to aquatic pigs, do need a clean, stable environment and will not thrive in a basic unfiltered goldfish pond. Those who might feel a touch embarrassed to reveal their ignorance by asking ‘stupid’ questions at club meetings need not worry in the least, we have all been there and, believe me, most of us are still asking stupid questions, it’s just that we don’t feel embarrassed anymore!
