The Koi hobby is bigger than one club, bigger than one society, bigger than one country. It is truly a world-wide hobby. Members of the South East inherit a legacy of contact with other koi clubs both overseas and domestic. Some of these have ZNA affiliation which encourages such exchanges in the form of 'Friendship' trophies. The South East has been a benificiary of this practise which we now reciprocate.
