Taking place over the long weekend of 17 - 19th August 2007 and billed as the “Largest Koi Show on Earth” the NVN European National recorded their largest gate to date 23,500. More a conservative estimate than an actual figure as the new owners employed a different means of calculation than their predecessors which greatly favoured them and not the NVN. Held at their traditional venue the Kasteltuinin Arcen the European National as it has become known attracted visitors from all of the neighbouring countries as well as many from overseas.The Judging panel consisted of judges and trainees from Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese,Americans, Belgians, Germans, South Africans and British Koi Societies accompanied by many of the NVN’s newly formed Judging programmes as trainees.

The everage distance walked by each judge while judging the show was 7.5 km.
