Grow & Show, Selection guidelines

 (posted: 06-03-2007)

Grow & show selection guidelines and information.

When it is your time to select you’re grow & show either Saturday or Sunday, here are our guidelines, PLEASE READ:-

1- Please be ready at least 5 minutes before your time slot, and make yourself known to the girl on the till (Maria)

2- We will advise where to go to select your koi

3- If you are late for your time slot then, we are sorry to say you will have to wait until the end of that particular day to select.

4- There will be FURTHER bio-security in place, so please use both available, our normal one and the further one near the selection pond.

5- Bring along a maximum of 5 pictures of the koi you wish to choose

6- Once it is your selection time, you are given a maximum of 10 minutes

7- You allowed ONLY 3 koi in the bowl, no others can be allowed or change of mind given. This is to ensure the health of the koi for the future!

8- There is plenty of time to select your koi, please do not panic, or rush your selection.  A clock showing the time will be displayed.

9- We ask that you do not wander to other parts of our facility without permission. Anyone found doing so in the competition, will be disqualified, with NO refund. Bio-Security is paramount.

10- A maximum of ONE other person is allowed with the entrant when selection is taken place (not another entrant!) Sorry there is no room for more.

11- Once the koi has been selected they will stay in the same pond for the next 4 weeks, and be grown on.

12- To aid those on who are selecting on the Sunday, we intend to have a flag on the koi selected on the Saturday, showing that each koi has been selected.

13- We ask that you NEVER disclose the koi you have chosen to any other entrant or hobbyist wherever possible.

14- All pictures from our web site are the copyright of Richdon Koi. However we do not mind the print out for the ease of the competition selection.

We hope we have covered everything for you, if you have any questions then please do not hesitate and contact us

Richard & Alan will be with the koi whilst selection takes place. We cannot at any point advise on which koi to select.

See you Saturday or Sunday

The Richdon Koi Team
