Start hoping for another 'ash cloud'.....I'll be in Spain the week before and things can go wrong

Bobby, please mail me a jpeg of your show poster when it is ready so that i can put it up on the site.

Will do, Thanks David

Hi Bobby,
Will sponsor some Shogun Koi Nutrition - I have some ideas - please drop me an email with the number of koi keepers you expect to enter the show.
Regards
Chris

Thanks Chris
Once I have all the relevant information I will drop you a mail with the detail. I am very curious regarding your Idea though.

I want to add that Shogun has been a Sponsor at the WCKC Show the last couple of years. Talks amongst hobbyist is making me believe that this market has grown considerably in the Western Cape the past year, Thanks Chris.

Any other sponsors or exhibitors that want to invest in our 15th WCKC Show at Willowbridge Mall, the last weekend of August 2010 please mail me at chairman@wckoi.co.za

Yesterday I send out an inquiry to a few members to book a pond for our Willowbridge Show in August, to my surprise 80% were booked within 2 hours .


Our Proposed site layout for the 15th WCKC Show.

We had a nice problem due to hobbyist demand. Well we re-designed the Layout a bit to fit 5 more vats, day 3 and we have 98% vats booked for our show.
Our marketing team is working hard on our WCKC poster and has come up with some interesting designs. Watch this space for more up to date news

OK Chris with 98% of the the 32 vats booked we should have 22 hobbyist showing Koi. Unfortunately we have no more space and this is also the maximum amount of ponds WCKC own, minus 3 loan ponds to get to 32.

R 3 500.00 or the highest bidder,Trophy Sponsorship opportunity.

Every entrant should receive a trophy with gold, silver and bronze medals for 1rst 2nd and 3rd place accolades. The inscription could read as follows.

Hi All

Found a company that makes the following claims to book an Exibitors stand at our 15th WCKC Show @ Willowbridge
So all koi lovers put your thinking caps on and get your questions ready, all will be revealed soon.

7 Reasons Why Your Pond NEEDS ??
1. It reduces fish mortality rates
2. It dramatically improves pond water clarity
3. It eliminates excess algae
4. It is the ideal substrate for biological filters
5. You do your part to help the environment
6. It removes toxic heavy metals from the water
7. It can be used over again

Hi Bobby, Must be zeolite.

Let me know when the arrival times of the judges as well as the departure times and I will see what I can do as far as the transport bit seen that they are staying opposite us.

I might also have one or two dealers interested in stands, please let me know what the fee is.

Hi Collin
Baie dankie, die komitee wil ander opsies nog oorweeg, ek wag nog vir terugvoering om finale besluit te neem. Ek het vir jou die Exibitors inligting gemail, dit sal wonderlik wees as jy die laaste 2 kan aanboord kry.

Happy to report that our Exibitors is growing and I have odered an additional Marquee to add three more stall obtions. This will be the max our show site can handle, so the time is limited for Koi Dealers to book a stand.

Paul from Koi Online is handling the show marketing and the committe has employed the expertise of a marketing company "The Next 48 Hours"

All the Koi hobbyist and koi lovers please make sure to visit our Show and support our Exibitors , join the Western Cape hobbyist for a koi chat and braai evening on Saturday the 28th after the judges have done their bit for the day.

Looking forward to see you at the show.

Hello Marius
I was thinking today about you not been able to atttend the Bfn show due unforseen issues, being away a lot and your passion for Koi without experiencing a Koi show to date.

It will be great should you be able to be in SA and attend the Cape Town show.
Treat the misses and make a week-end of it, join us for the braai Saturday evening and personally hand out the Marius Bezuidenhout floating trophy to the winner at Sunday's prize giving.
