V27 24/5/09 1st Asia Grow-Out Event 2009, Inauguration Day

The Inauguration Day for the 1st Asia Grow-Out Event. Balloting to see which participant gets his preferred koi first. 2 separate categories, 1 for Matsunosuke sankes and 1 for Momotaro Mako showas. All are tosai about 25-35cm from Fall spawns. The event was initiated by forumers on the Malaysian Koi Forum and the voluntary committee also comprised forumers.

Overwhelming response, a total of 145 participants from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei and Vietnam took up all the 120 Matsunosuke sankes as well as the 120 Momotaro Mako showas. The 120 sankes will be put into a 160 ton pond with cavitated water at Max Koi Farm in Singapore, and likewise for the Momotaro Mako showas. After 3 months, all the koi will be bowled up for photo taking. Final judging will be on 29th Nov, after a grow-out period of 6 months. The sanke GC and the showa GC will be pitted against each other for the overall GC.

Hi Steven, indeed it was massive. Europe has a strong kichi base too, it just needs a strong leader to put one together. If not, you're most welcome to participate in our next one!! It'd be great to have participants as far as Belgium!! :)

You guys have such a great koi community, the GO event is a massive one... over 140 koi kichis :o I hope an event like this will come to western europe as well (or I"ll have to come to singapore next time :p), I would definately participate,and I must say I like the prizes as well :D mr sakai and bro david have provided top quality prizes and the remaining prizes are really worth it too(although the real prize is the actual event, which is wonderful)
