OPTION 1 - Electronic copy e-mailed to you so that you can either read it on screen and or print it - then file it for further reference.
OPTION 2 - Hard copy mailed to you in print format as is currently done.
The results will be made known as soon as there are sufficient responses.
Please e-mail your answer, OPTION 1 or OPTION 2 to our office and state your name to ensure that you are indeed a member of SAKKS.

SAKKS formally announces that the Special Variety for 2010 is ASAGI.

The Tetra Koi Excellence South African National Koi Show 2009
.
Having hosted the South African National Show in 2007, the KwaZulu Natal Chapter once again held the National Koi show at the same venue as last year – the Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Umhlanga Rocks over the weekend of 25-26 July 2009.
We were delighted when Marltons, the South African distributor of Tetra products, and their overseas principal, Tetra, agreed once again to be the main sponsor, hence the name of the show- “The Tetra Koi Excellence South African National Koi Show”. This was the third year that Tetra and Marltons had sponsored the shows in KwaZulu Natal, seeing this as an ideal opportunity to associate their quality koi food, KOI EXCELLENCE, with a Koi Show which attracts the serious koi hobbyists and many members of the public. Thanks go to them for this sponsorship.
