Thanks for all the support at the open day/social event. I think it was a huge success considering the positive feedback of all the purchasers. A lot of top quality koi found new homes. The Koi Society of the Western Cape Chapter was formally invited and we created an opportunity for the members to socialise, exchange ideas and buy Koi food and other items at cost.

We initiated the event in view of the fact that basically nothing has been organized by them since the new Chairman and new Committee took over, except the annual koi show. I am sad to say that despite this, they did not bother to attend apart from three individuals of the society. Probably why hobbyists do not want to join anymore. When you join, promises are made of social events, pond safari's and other exciting activities, but that does not really exist in the Cape Town area anymore, alternatively the members are not being informed of same. Don't know why we still promote the society on our web site and to our clients. Hopefully they were still hybernating and will warm up soon.

Fortunately the hobby is still very active behind the scenes. Please visit our web site from time to time as we will continue to organize social events for the hobbyist. At the end of October we will have another social event at our premises and during the first week of December we will be dragging our mud dam in Wellington.
