The Surrey Beekeepers Association (SBKA) is made up of nine local clubs; Croydon Division, Epsom Division, Farnham Division, Guildford Division, Horsham & Crawley Division, Kingston Division, Reigate Division, Weybridge Division and Wimbledon Division. Each Division looks after beekeeping interests in their own area. There are no specific boundaries, and people can join whichever club they like. Division club members are automatically members of Surrey Beekeepers Association and also of The British Beekeepers Association. Details are on the Membership page.

The Surrey Beekeepers Association is run by the SBKA Committee,
Divisions are run by their own committee.

Treasurer dates do keep changing! My understanding at the moment is:
30th September 2006 - end of SBKA financial and membership year
September - Divisions to send in an estimate of following years membership numbers and submit a portion of the capitation to SBKA Treasurer
December - Divisions to make final payment on actual membership for the current SBKA year.
Jan-? For any new members who join after Jan ? The Division does not have to pay SBKA for the missed Beecraft magazines. Check Beecraft element and make reduced payment to SBKA Treasurer.
