Help Wanted: we have a couple of vacancies on the committee that need you!

STOP PRESS: The date has been set for our BEGINNERS COURSE 2027. The start date is Saturday, March 27th
at the Fromus Centre, Saxmundham. The 'instructors' running the course are very experienced and highly knowledgeable beekeepers who give their time and guidance for free. To cover our costs (hall hire, expenses) a fee is payable and as numbers are limited, we operate on a 'First Come, First Served' basis. Click here for more information and to reserve your place.

2026 HEAVINGHAM HALL COUNTRY FAIR: MAN OUR STAND! Are you FREE on 27th & 28th June 2026 to support your association and volunteer to help on our stand. You do not need to be an experienced beekeeper in order to volunteer. It is an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge from other beekeepers as well as meeting the public
and enjoying the country fair without paying the entrance fee.
We ask that SCBKA events are not advertised via any social media platform without discussion with the membership and education secretary. We'd like ensure that people arriving without a booking are not disappointed and numbers need to be managed.
