Following a rainy Saturday, the weather cleared up and the sun came out on Sunday and Monday for the show. Everyone seemed happy, it was good to see our friends from other parts of the country joining us to enjoy our All England Show.
Our international team of judges were led by Mike Harvey (South Africa) and included Toen Feyen, Anja Albertsboer, Mark Kleijkers (Netherlands) Louis Vanreusel (Belgium) Stefan Malm (Sweden), Carol McCall, Tony Sheffield & Gary Pritchard (UK). A total of 403 koi were benched and we thank their owners who brought their koi for us all to see.
We ran our raffle for a Trip to Japan with Yume Koi again this year. We will announce the winner when he returns from holiday, what a nice surprise for him when he gets back.
