A quick note to remind you that we are holding our bee safari with Michael Cooper on Saturday 26th April.  If you want to have our SBI visit your apiary, please let me know by Easter Sunday, so that I can organise the event.  There are places left, so just let me know if you want to benefit from Michael’s expertise and experience.

We hope you can join us for our review of the year on Wednesday 6th November at 7.30pm in Whitefriars Management Suite.  It would be great if we could display a slideshow of beekeeping in CBKA in 2013, so if you have any photos you want to share please email them to cantbees@gmail.com.  We’re particularly keen to get photos from apiary meetings in Preston and Westbere (Jul/Aug/Sep), and also the meet-the-public events at Brogdale and Whitefriars precincts.  Please also find attached

the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting, which includes a financial report: AGM 6th November 2013

Honey Tasting Meeting, 2nd October

Posted on by October 1, 2013

Canterbury Beekeepers will meet at 7.30pm on Wednesday 2nd October in the management suite of Whitefriars shopping centre (details below).  We will talk about the preparation of bottled honey, and compare/contrast the tastes of your own honey.  Please bring a bottle of your own honey, so that we have a good selection to analyse.

DIRECTIONS
Whitefriars Conference room Canterbury
Free parking in the multi-storey car park. Collect your ticket and this will be processed during the
meeting. Park on the 1st floor on the left and take the corridor down to the management suite at the bottom of the corridor on the left. Please car share if you can, since Whitefriars have to pay the cost of this on our behalf.
By car Set Sat Nav post code to CT1 2TF
Go around the ring road and at the roundabout opposite the Police Station turn through the city walls into Watling Street. Go past the bus station on your right and the Whitefriars multi-storey car park is straight ahead and right at the mini-roundabout. If coming from the south go down the Old Dover Rd and straight across the roundabout through the city walls.
By foot / BUS
Between the Bus Station and Whitefriars center there is an alleyway between Boots and Next. Here there is an entrance to the car park. Go to the first floor by lift and turn left out of the lift through double doors. The management suite is 20 yds along this corridor.
