    All the artwork, rules and website credit should really go to Darren Gray of Absolute koi. To be fair David ( familyman) only asked Darren to source the koi for the grow and show competition. Me and David were struggling to get this up and running as it was new to us. After a few visits and phone calls to Darren for help he came through for us even though he didn't have too so the majority of the credit should go to Darren.

    When it comes to dates we don't have any yet till Darren has been to Japan. When we know you guys will know.

    If it could be near the top of the forum that would be great so people and newcomers can see it all the better.

    I've added you to the list Icoxy. The plan is for the koi to be released and start the competition when the ambient temperatures come up to give everyone a fair crack of the whip.

    yeah I'm tempted to have another 1 ............................or 6 .
    I'm made up with this
    David

    p.s looking at how the fish can change with age, judging by the pictures in the link, it would be interesting to see the fish every year for many years because the fish that Is judged the winner after one growth season might be not so good after 2 or 3 or 4 seasons, whilst another that was initially not great, could blossom into something amazing.
    Its all very interesting, and pleasantly unpredictable, I think that's the fun of it, I hope i can do my fish justice.

    Happy with all the rules,and a big thanks to all the effort taken by those concerned.

    I was reading through an old Koi Mag 2013 where the Kangei koi club had a Grow & Show similar rules to ours with Avenue Fisheries,so the rules must be pretty standard,each fish being one entry and one draw out of the hat.

    Anymore members fancy a bit of fun with our grow and show competition? It will be good for us to meet up on the selection day and have a good natter over koi at Absolute koi, Nottingham, retford. You never know you might even enjoy it!!!

    A £100 get's you a nice Omosako shiro tosai to watch grow. Plus a chance to win some Saki Hikari koi food. It's all about us members enjoying the hobby.
