New meeting up dates

[markf1fan]

right as we can all see now, the bkks show has been called off. so how would people like to meet up at one of these events.


16th & 17th July 2011 - Cambridgeshire Koi Show - Mudds Drove, Threeholes, Cambridgeshire, PE14 9JU

4th & 5th June 2011 - Worthing Koi Show - Clapham & Patching Village & Green, Long Furlong, West Sussex, BN13 3UT

i think it also would be best to go on the saturday for fish as sunday all the best fish would be gone.

the cambridgeshire koi show is the club that i am in and i can say they are a great group of people. please every one say what they would like. these are really the only dates i can do as my other hobbie has taken up other show dates. mark

but if you go on the saturday you may not see who won what and with what fish.
Also any deals to be done on koi are always done on the last day so the dealers dont have to take the koi home

for example at the Essex show last year A4 koi were selling marudo chagois for £70 plus then on the last day a crowd of us die hards got them for a tenner each. he did the same with Kumonryu the year before

not a chance, i would rather pay better money for better koi then get all the crap that is left over that people did not want to buy on the saturday lol. any way its not upto me its upto you lot what day we all want to meet up lol.

[pondy]

everything depends on what you want from a show.

most people get the idea that you can go to a show and get cheap food and cheap koi. and tbh there are no deals at shows!!!

unless the particular dealer chooses too. and he aint gonna do that if he has another day to go :p

[markf1fan]

but surely alot of the good fish will sell on the saturday. i understand in what your saying. so if the vote comes out that saturday is the day does that mean the sunday voting guys are not coming on saturday lol.

[pondy]

Mark im showing there so i have to be there sunday at least to take my Koi home:D

Guys, thanks for thinking of our show as a meeting place, if you do decide to make it the Cambridgeshire Show then let me know and I'll get it announced on the PA on the day you're attending so you can all find each other :)

Pondy, to be fair, it's actually the side garden lol

As for finding the forum, don't go browsing for forums very much due to limited time, so thanks for the heads up, what I am surprised about is that as a member of the club Mark didn't let me know lol tut tut

[markf1fan]

[markf1fan]

[lazarus]

Laz

yes please Laz, just an idea could we not start to do a news letter every month and send it by email or some thing like that. maybe some one would like to sort this out and take it on as a job. how about we start a new thread where we can get people doing things for the forum if they wish to.

[trickydicky]

I nominate shevyrabbit as a good candidate :cool:

[lazarus]

Anyone interested in doing the newsletter once a month or bi weekly ???

[pondy]

well i see the votes are still coming in to what day we shall meet up at the cambridge but we could touch base at the crouch valley closed show and garden show next month too if you fancy it

[markf1fan]

what date is it mate.

[the stoneman]

Hi Guys,
I'm allways up for a meet up at a show, I prefer to go on a saturday, but will go with the flow.:)

Peter

[Davej]

what date is it mate.

11th and 12th June Mark.

The good thing is that the CV show is only part of a pretty big garden show, so there is loads for the other half and kids to do whilst you Koi nerd.:)

The only prob is making sure she doesn't get hold of your wallet.:D

Dave

[trickydicky]

Dave if his missus got hold of his wallet she'd be buying koi :cool: she's just as nutty about koi as he is :D

[markf1fan]

well i see its now 50/50 it will be such a shame if it falls to meeting up on the sunday as i for sure can not make it. but will be going on the saturday. mark

[markf1fan]

well its getting nearer to the cambridge koi show now. i for sure will be going on the saturday so who ever wants to meet up for a chat then please let me know. mark
