14.03.2017 Koi Quiz and general chat session.
David will be running a challenging quiz about koi and koi keeping.
There will also be plenty of time to discuss with other members any issues or problems you may be having with your pond or fish.
As Winter gives way to Spring, rising temperatures combined with over generous feeding can give rise to problems and parasites can take advantage of the koi's weaker immune system.
This meeting gives members a chance to obtain advice from other members on reducing the risks associated with Spring and how to deal with Parasites should they occur.

11.04.2017 Koi Health
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the meeting tomorrow at the White Hart, 7.30pm. Remember to renew your membership/join the club if you have not done it yet- the fees have been frozen for a further year and are £18/couple, £14/single, £5/junior or still in education (under 21yr)/ late joiner. New members are always welcome. The meeting will offer members the opportunity to discuss Koi health as well as other issues that we all may come across as we are moving from Winter into Spring. It should be an interesting discussion, with members new and old being able to learn from the experiences of others. I am hoping everyone can make it.
Deborah
Club Secretary.
