Howard Teal Cup

posted 22 Nov 2009 03:01 by Jeremy Pack

At the Wiltshire county honey show in October the Kennet Beekeepers Association was awarded the Howard Teal Cup. The Howard Teal Cup is awarded by Wiltshire Beekeepers Association’s Chairman annually to the best county club that year. The award of the Howard Teal Cup to Kennet Beekeepers was a great honour and shows the faith the County Committee have in us, and our commitment to take the Branch forward. At our November meeting Jerry Wickham, Chairman of the WBKA came along, spoke about the award, gave us a clap on the back and some more encouragement.
