Inaugural British Discus Show! - BIDKA

[GrillMaster]

Paul...My wife and I have discussed this the last couple of weeks. She was going to go over to Scotland and England (she has family in both) in May with my son an daughter.(I cant go ...Just to busy) but has told me that we could go over in November since her birthday is in November. She would want to stay in Greenock Sco. for a few days then go down to Corby to visit the rest of the family.

I could free myself from the in-law festivities for the show. The draw back is we are moving to a new house in Sept. It would all depend on how fast we got settled in. My wife is up nor down when she goes but November might just work depending on how things work out with the move.

Kenny thank you my friend if success comes from hard work then the efforts of the team won't go unrewarded. I'll do what I can for the pics too, though I may be a little busy!!

Paul,

Congratulations on accomplishing what I consider quite a task. I am hoping the best for its success, and then maybe you can teach us over here how to produce a stand alone discus show with all the support that you managed to get in a relatively short period of time. I only wish I could be there.

Good luck,
Mat

Hey Paul, I can imagine you are in full swing now gettin ready for the Discus show!! Wish I could be there! I am afraid the funds wont be available for me this year after the move.

Well we have just had our show. I think it was quite successful, everyone enjoyed themselves and the stallholders were kept very busy for the two days. We ended up with 48 fish in five classes as there were no wild caught entries this yeqr. I have been promised some for next year though!

There are a whole heap of photos available to view here, no need to join or anything, just click the link and enjoy

The winning fish was excellent and I really, really liked the fish in tank 1 too!

A great success Paul and I for certain will be attending next year!!!!!

Brilliant job!!!!

Best you do come next year Dan! I thought I had convinced you to show your wilds!

It was an absolute pleasure meeting you, you are a top guy, next time I am in Norwich I will give you a shout!

Hello Slackey,

It was great meeting you aswell, cant say it enough, a great job you guys did.

Showing Wilds, yes you did have me convinced AT THE SHOW and I noticed Paul B say somewhere else he had a promise of someone showing wilds next year, im wondering if he was referring to me??? I often get carried away at these things and get signed up without realising it!!!

The kettle is on ready for you, not sure why you would want to come to Norwich for though, well apart from Alan Partridge that is?

Once again, great work!!!

Dan
