I think you guys still have some room to manoever.

In the mid nineties we were running 40+ koi shows a year crammed into our
short summer and remember the UK could get lost in California. Nowadays we are just about maintining 20.

With most of the clubs (95% or more) all belonging to the same society clashes were kept to a minimum especially where clubs were in close vicinity to one another. But as a visitor I could occasionally find myself spoilt for choice on a weekend and visiting 2 different shows over a weekend not unusual. I remember one of my club mates visiting 2 shows in one day once.

But as good as that might sound 40 was too many, but 20 is not enough. If we have room for more so must you.

Roll on 6/7th May, the first koi show of 2006 in the UK.
