Ashford Branch KBKA we meet in the summer on Sunday afternoons at our Branch Apiary which is situated in a lovely spot near Ashford - on our former Chairman's small holding. The HQ was built by an enthusiastic group of our members - it took quite a long time to finish, but we are very pleased with it.

Our other two main events are the Annual Lecture that we sponsor at Wye College each April, and the Honey Show on the first Saturday in September. This is held at Bilsington Priory near Ashford in the medieval building, which is a marvellous venue for such an event. I am always ready to give information about branch activities.
