Page 77 - Koi Net - On-Line Koi Magazine - Issue 70

With the surface of the
water close to the level of
the pond wall, Dave had
taken the precaution of
fixing a net over his pond.

Dave and Dot had a good selection of many varieties of
Koi and they all looked healthy and very active when
WE SAID Dave put a few pellets into the sparkling water.
GOODBYE With the surface of the water in the pond close to the
level of the pond wall, Dave had taken the precaution of
TO OUR HOSTS fixing a net across the surface of the pond to avoid the
AND THANKED Koi from jumping out. This was not just any old net, it
was held in place on an oval wooden frame which Dave
THEM ALL made from a single piece of wood, which he steamed
and bent round to match the oval shape of the pond –
FOR THEIR a work of real craftsmanship!
HOSPITALITY Kim asked me to get the South East members to board

the minibus and make a short journey to the local
Scout Hall where the BBQ was nearly ready. We all sat
down to enjoy our delicious meal, then called the raffle.
We said goodbye to our hosts and thanked them for
their hospitality, then made our journey back home.
What a great day out.
