The Australian Koi Association (AKA) is a group of people with a common interest in koi, expressed in a diversity of preferences for types of koi and all aspects of their keeping.
The aims of the AKA are the promotion of friendship and understanding through koi, to have available an advisory service to all koi keepers, to hold shows, displays and exhibitions to help introduce our hobby to the public, and to operate as a family oriented club.
ABOUT THE AKA
Formed in 1981, the Australian Koi Association has grown and all money raised has been put towards improvements in the club, such as meeting nights, shows and auctions, with the aim of developing the knowledge and breeding of koi in Australia. Our total membership currently stands at nearly 300 people.
We have close relationships with other Australian and international koi organisations, including the Koi Society of Australia, the Koi Society of Western Australia, South African Koi Keepers Society, KLAN German Koi Society, Netherlands Koi Club, South East England Koi Club and Singapore Koi Club, to name a few.
Members meet monthly and enter their koi in a monthly points-score competition and in a number of special shows held throughout the year. Many of these shows have international koi judges which we bring to Australia specifically to judge our shows. At most meetings there is an illustrated lecture on koi culture by an expert in a particular field, as well as koi auctions, panel discussions and demonstrations.
Membership of the AKA offers greater pleasure from your koi, and allows you to form lasting friendships with people of similar interest from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. New members are warmly welcomed and young members and family participation are especially encouraged.
