It is an interesting thread Dick. I like turning over rocks and seeing what's underneath!
Many ZNA chapters around the world do not have the enough critical mass, quality fish, man power or equipment to put on a full blown show. But they do have teaching seminars held by a certified judge and/or they might use their own koi or young koi to critque so that all members get a chance to understand koi as art and how to be an educated consumer. But then again it is taken for granted that this study is an offshoot of the learning surrounding the 'testing ground' called the koi show. You just can't get away from it. Even with all the bruises and warts, the 'play' is the thing. JR
