I am about to leave to go to the show ground.Last night we started
having caterers and a craft turn up ready for set up.
The show has something for everyone plus more and the show layout
is better than ever so come along and see what is on offer.
Look forward to seeing you all there.

pondy

well about half the koi are there already and the other half either tonight or first thing should arrive, Benching well under way and you can tell already that ther is some teriffic Koi there.... almost legendary

It was great to see the guys from A4 koi there to set up stall and i understand that there are some really nice stuff coming for sale too.
Also Dock koi were setting up as i left and i know LE koi wont be far behind them.
i was right it is Fuji koi that are selling dry goods there and also Kusuri have a stall selling the dry goods too.

even Alan Coogan has brought koi to be shown and i think all the major awards will be a tight run competition.

see you all tomorrow.... and make sure you come and say hello, and even if you havent met me ask someone on the water team, we all know each other. just doesnt mean we talk to each other but we all know each other... lmfao
