| As I sit here reading this, I am reminded of my first koi show and how hard it was for me to bring one fish. Yes, I said one fish!!! I have been on many sides of this thing we call a "Koi Show".
Issue 1:
With clubs struggling to fill tanks nowadays, by their own members it is a sad thing. One koi show I attended a couple of years back 2 club members out of 70+ filled 2 tanks. The other 20 or so tanks were filled from out of towners.
Issue 2:
I think what Lee is getting at is an invite to all should be clear in all promotations, so none are left out.
Consenus:
Nowadays, koi shows ride on some of the celebraties that attend, both "Professional" and "Hobbyist". It helps out hand and hand. I see both sides of this, but I think it is best routed through PM at this point.
I hope this public thread doesnt hurt the show and enlighten both sides.
Thanks,
Tony
