ILFORD & DISTRICT
AQUARISTS & PONDKEEPERS
SOCIETY

The Society was founded in 1934 and is now believed to be the oldest active fishkeeping club in the U.K. At the present time we have about seventy members of whom about forty regularly attend our monthly meetings. We are members of the Federation of British Aquatic Societies. Next Meeting 11th August   Bob Esson - Line Breeding Goldfish Bob normally tags along with Dick Mills when Dick is giving a talk but this time Dick is just doing the driving. Its Bob's turn to do the talking. BUT and its a big BUT. The meeting is NOT AT THE LIBRARY. The library is having a new floor laid so for this month only the meeting will be held in the residents lounge of Stoneleigh Court in Herent Drive Ilford. Usual time but there will be no club shop or library so get your supplies at the July meeting Program details for 2008 The Newsletter has a new Editor Read the August Newsletter

We hold monthly meetings with talks and slideshows, run annual pond and home aquaria competitions. We ran an annual exhibition for many years but are now not very active in the show world. We did however take part a few years ago in an exhibition at Alexandra Palace. We run coach trips to places of interest to our members in the U.K. and about once every eighteen months travel to Europe for a few days or even a week. In recent years we have been to Amsterdam, Cologne and Normandy and The Hague.
