We thank you for your continued custom and we look forward to seeing you at Growing on competition weekend. 
Over this weekend we will be running our ever popular growing on competition. Whilst the format remains the same, each year we endevor to make improvements. 
 
As the event appears to get more popular each year we have found ourselves selling out of the normal 250 number of special koi on the Saturday of the event, often leaving regular customers who can only make Sundays with little choice or no fish to purchase. With this in mind this year we will have 200 special koi on view and available for purchase on Saturday and a further 200 that will only be made available on Sunday. This will prevent much overcrowding and also provide a fairer choice for all . We will still have the prize of purchase price of fish refunded and £100 of quality food for the koi with the largest increase in size. We will also have the most improvement in quality prize of the same value purchase prize refunded and £100 of quality koi food but will have a prize for each of the two days. Giving both Saturday & Sunday an even chance or double the chance if you attend both days. 
Over this weekend we will be running our ever popular growing on competition. Whilst the format remains the same each year we endeavour to make improvements. This year any fish purchased will be housed on “grown on “ in our refurbished specialized growing on tunnel where we will have 3 ponds with a capacity of 10,000 gallons heated to 24 degrees c. each pond will be fitted with automatic feeders to supplement our usual regular hand feeding to maximise growth potential.
