Clubs

[Silverbone]

Is it alright to join more than one local beekeeping club? I have joined one but there is another that is just a few miles away, or is it best to just stick with one club? It's that I just don't want to offend anyone.

Why not ask if they mind?

No reason why you cannot join as many as you want to,
We welcome other members from other clubs to our talks and meetings, no charge......

Same with my association www.barkstonashbees.com
We have associate members from other clubs within travel distance, and some of our members are associated with other clubs.

I'm a member of more than one beekeeping club because there are two within easy reach. I pay full membership to the cheapest and associate membership to the other. Both clubs get some money, and I get the choice of events to attend and different beekeepers to meet.
