Not sure tbh, if you are talking about the discus in the show, then not sure yet, we do have exhibitors coming from Taiwan though ....

[pcsb23]

I should add also that we will be getting many visitors from overseas too, certainly from Sweden, Belgium, Turkey, Germany and hopefully a few other places too!

I went to the last BIDKA show and I had a wonderful time! The show was very professionally organized. I estimated at the time that it would cost me no more to attend the BIDKA show in England then it would cost me to attend a show here in this country where extensive travel was involved. Anyone going is sure to meet some wonderful people and view some gorgeous fish.

Hey Martha, glad you enjoyed the show! This one will hopefully be bigger and better than the last one!

We have just opened bookings for the Show Dinner, the last two show dinners were fantastic fun, this one will be better still. It is by booking only and places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment. Full details here Show Dinner (http://forum.bidka.org/showthread.php?t=17436)

Thanks for the pics, Paul. The BIDKA shows certainly attract beautiful fish. I was told by one who went that the show was an outstanding success.
