Grow and Show Competition 2009

I am really excited about this years Grow and Show.   

We have 6 Oomo Showa and 4 Marusho Sanke.  These will be grown on by the breeders in their very own mud pond from the end of April until October when they will be harvested.  Entry cost will be £495 and as numbers are strictly limited to just 10 to secure your place you will need to register immediately and specify either Sanke or Showa.  You will then be given an entry number (drawn at random) which corresponds to a pre-numbered koi.  In October, together with Fujio Oomo and Makoto Tanaka, we will judge how each koi has improved overall and number them from 1 through to 10.  As this is purely down to chance the hobbyist who owns koi number 10 will also receive a Kaneko Shiro Utsuri which has been growing for the same period.  All the koi were deliberately selected as having the same grade and potential so the thought is the person who has the best Nissai in October will be delighted anyway and the hobbyist whose koi comes in at number 10 will also be delighted as they pick up a superb Kaneko Tategoi Shiro Utsuri. 

What a great opportunity to own a true tategoi being grown on for the summer and come the Autumn harvest you will be in possession of a high grade 2 year old for the price of a tategoi tosai making it a fraction of its true value in October!

Each koi will be measured and photographed in late April just before being put into the mud pond for the summer and I will email the picture to you so you can track its progress.
