Thanks Guys, it was our pleasure..
Special thanks to Lau for helping and Keith for sponsoring the bags.. Cheers mate.
Hope you and the babes all get home safe and sound and a big thanks for taking part.
At the end of the day it should be good fun and in supporting Three Counties Koi and Pondfish Rescue we put that little bit back into the hobby.

Deborah and I had a great time too, big thanks to Dave and Diane for hosting the event and letting us in without showing our passports.
Our trip back to Nottingham went smoothly thanks to better weather than on the way South and our two Showa are happily swimming in their new home.
I have a special mention for the fantastic bbq, the burgers and sausages looked great however they paled into insignificance next to the bacon which was cremated to perfection.
Great koi, great people and great bacon sarnies made the near 6 hour round trip well worth the effort, we both look forward to meeting up again in the future. I'm sure we will run into some of you at one of the shows this year.

You youngsters are very quick with your postings takes us oldtimers longer to get things together.Must echo all the good things already posted about Dave & Diane their hospitality is second to none thanks.The tosia were very good and having options and choices meant that you were studying a lot more than the usual Show & Grow where you take randomly Having selected my Koi Dave generously offered a freebie which made a pleasant day into a great one Thanks once again Dave. Photo 1 is my S&G loved the two red spots above the eyes and 2 the freebie have great expectations of both George
