KOI CLUBS

South Hants Koi Club
The South Hants Koi Club (SHKC), is one of many
sections of the British Koi Keepers’ Society around the
country. Our object is to promote and encourage the
hobby of Koi Keeping within our Hampshire area and to
aid fellow members where possible. The Section was
founded in 1990 and some of the founder members are
still active in the club, which is presently thriving with
many members.

We meet at 8.00 pm on the second Wednesday of every
month at the All Saints Church Hall, Hambledon Road,
Denmead, Hampshire PO7 6NN and have members from
all over Hampshire including the New Forest to Worthing
and further afield. We usually have a guest speaker or
some other Koi related evening.

Throughout the summer months, the club arranges
various activities, trips, etc. and we sometimes exchange
visits with other BKKS sections and Koi Clubs. Our
auction has become a popular event, with both fish and
various items of equipment auctioned – see our website
for dates and details.

On our own open days, maybe two each year, several
members open their ponds to other club members and
these days we finish up with a barbecue or buffet in the
last garden. 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.

Annual Membership is just £20.00 per annum, per
household which includes guest speakers, Koi related
evenings, open days, auction, summer activities and our
Member’s Newsletter. If you are not sure if you want to
join our club, you are very welcome to attend one of our
club nights without any obligation or pressure to join.
