Sorry BB that is the same weekend as our Bonsai Show. Also the same weekend as the referendum on daylight saving.
Last time we had an exhibition little Johnny got the sack serves him bloody right.
A week either way would have helped us.

I like the way you parked them obviously not a f------- driver :P :roll: :o Pup

519 koi - the most in the entire history of the show.

I will be putting up more photos of the other major winners on the KSA website over the next few days. When done I will pop back and let you know.

I like the metalics Mr Bradley. I don't think I could pick any out of that?
