Congratulations to CVKS members on their success at the Young Koi Show.
The Young Koi Show is a recently new addition to the show scene and is hosted by the South East Koi Club and is held at the show ground in Maidstone, Kent. This year’s show was held over the weekend of 30th April and 1st May.
The show is for koi up to a maximum of 65cm and aimed at giving hobbyists with smaller size koi an opportunity to compete for major awards.
The show saw 342 koi entered across 35 vats and as always, a selection of CVKS members were not only there to exhibit and support the event but had some success.
