Welcome to the online home of the Cambridgeshire Koi Club, the offical British Koi Keepers Society (BKKS) section for the Cambridgeshire region. The site is here to give you an insight in to what it is we do, show you some of the ponds of our members and keep you updated with the goings on at the club. With club meetings throughout the summer months at members ponds, talks and presentations during the cooler months from a range of speakers at the club meeting venue of the Bluebell Inn, Werrington Green, Peterborough on the third Sunday of every month and a range of days out and visits to koi shows and dealers around the country, the Cambridgeshire Koi Club members like to keep themselves busy with anything to do with koi! So, whether you already keep koi or are looking for advice prior to starting out in the hobby, you'll find the CKC a friendly and welcoming club and we look forward to seeing you at an upcoming meeting |
