    Exclamation Omasaka Grow and show 2011/2012

    well its coming up to the end of the Year with this competition, some of these koi have grown well and look stunning... unfortunately we have also lost a few along the way..

    however next month (May) will be the month to take your final Pictures of your shiro's.

    we have'nt got a trophy as unfortunately the one that was promised from the Forum hasnt materialised. and the Judging will be held entirely up to you guys as to the best one.
    we'll narrow it down by poll etc..

    it does seem to have fizzled out a little more than i would have liked but if we can make a real effort to get these last photos in i would really appriciate it.

    so you have until the last day in May to get your pictures to me. if possible please photo them from above against/near a rule so we can verify the size of your Koi.

    many Thanks

    Pondy

    Hiya Pondy
    well as you will prob know i only lost my shiro 2 weeks ago which really did upset me as i had really high hopes for mine. so i wish every one on here the best with the shiro's and may the best win. good luck every one.

    Very sorry to hear that mark :/ and sorry for any that lost their shiro .

    Fingers crossed mine is fine and has come through an outside winter that was thankfully pretty mild... have no doubt others will have grown a lot more but me no care never see a diamond big as a brick :P.

    Good luck all will be great to see them all again!

    Just to add Pondy thank you for running this, and to the supporters - collecting quarantining helping with quarantining with equipment, dealer for sourcing the fish holding the day etc etc . I know am not alone in my appreciation - it's maybe not said enough mate but hope you know.

    Can't believe that was a year ago. I think mine was the first to fall by the wayside but hope others have had more luck.

    Shame it's fizzled out after all your hard work to make this happen Pondy. Well done and thank you for all the hard work you put in.

    Well finally... nice to see some pics coming in. and guys dont forget you have'nt got to worry if your not up to the big sizes (mine arent) just be nice to see what they have started to look like, then maybe at the end we can do a start to finish before and after thread with all your pics.
