Crouch Valley Talk Koi

Wednesday 21st April saw the Crouch Valley Koi Club have their monthly meeting, the night was scheduled for a members open chat, these nights are always a good favorite with the club as it gives the members another good oppotunity to discuss various items related to their koi, ponds and gardens.

The basis of these open forum chat nights is to have a top table panel which usually consist of willing club members to answer a variety of questions that the general members ask. The great thing about this is the variety of the questions that appear from club members and it is great to see such a variety of knowledge from the panel.

With a packed hall once more of over 60 members in attendance the night was non stop, questions about the dreaded blanket weed appearing once more, items on Koi health was discussed along with protein issues and DOC build up, it was also good to hear a very good debate about the various bamboo varieties that are appearing in gardens around the UK.

My thanks go to the panel of "Experts" and to all that turned up.

Look forward to seeing all the members again soon at the Crouch Valley Koi Auction on the 9th May, for more details visit www.crouchvalleykoi.co.uk
