The GSGB was formed in 1948, with the objective of bringing together aquarists who are interested in keeping, breeding and studying the Goldfish (Carassius Auratus)

We are the largest Goldfish Society or Goldfish Club in the United Kingdom, with Members from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We also have a strong International

Membership from such countries as: The United States of America; Canada; Japan; Greece and New Zealand; undoubtedly attracted by our renowned Bulletin, published six times each year.

We welcome both beginners and those who have successfully bred one or more varieties of Goldfish. It does not matter whether you own a single aquarium or pond or whether you have several receptacles for raising your Goldfish. All will be equally welcomed and those who wish to develop their Goldfish keeping skills will be given every encouragement: but beware, this is an infectious hobby!

We hold our Goldfish Meetings at the London City YMCA, EC1Y 8SE and at other locations in the UK. Our Diary Dates for 2009/10 indicate that we have a very active year ahead, with the opportunity to meet fellow Goldfish enthusiasts, take part in two of the largest Goldfish shows in the UK and acquire both adult and young Goldfish from reputable sources. Please peruse our other pages where you will find information regarding Goldfish Ancestry and Goldfish Varieties to be found in the UK, the benefits of Membership, and useful Contacts.
