Closed Show
Once a year our beautiful koi put on a show. Carefully nurtured through the winter and early spring the koi in our ponds are ready to 'dazzle' their admirers throughout the new season. Our main competition is the 'Closed Show' held once a year at Barleylands, in Billericay, as part of the South East Essex Garden Show, organised by Aztec. At this closed show only clu members are allowed to enter the competition. The challenge and anticipation are high. Who will be be the proud owner of the New Grand Champion?

| The competition sees winners in a wide range of koi varieties and sizes, (see 2008 winners). The judging takes place on the Saturday of the three day event. Judges from the BKKS arrive late morning and the nail biting begins. The results are announced later in the afternoon. As a BKKS Section we are governed by the society's rules regulating koi shows and there are health and safety officers from the BKKS in attendance over the three day event to ensure that the koi are well cared for at all times. Koi health is at the top of our agenda at this event. Our Show Chairman and his team of officers work hard, not only at the show but in the months leading up to it, to ensure the highest standards are maintained. Over the years they have done a grand job and continue to do so.
