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.

Program details for 2010 Welcome to 2010 and best wishes to you all. I've been very busy at work over the last 12 months and have not been updating this site as much as I would have liked to do - particularly the pages with the results of the Home Aquarium and Pond Competitions. I will get round to posting pictures of these soon Read the January 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.
