We all enjoyed refreshments   We had more refreshments and left to visit Manor Koi
       and sat around chatting, we   in Basildon who had a number of ponds with a wide
       couldn’t believe how Chris
       had built their pond in such   variety of Koi and other coldwater fish. There were free
       a short time!         standing ponds, nets, Koi food, etc. – everything for
                             the Koi keeper.

                             We made our way to their main pond which had a wide
                             variety of larger Koi, but soon it was time to leave and
                             make our way to St. Francis Hall in West Horndon
       A HAPPY               where we sat down, had a chat and enjoyed a superb
       ENDING TO             buffet. I must mention the ladies, Sue, Rachel and
                             Doreen who organised it.
       A PERFECT
                             Then they called the raffle. It was my lucky day, I won a
       DAY                   bottle of wine, two more tickets and I won again and
                             put it back, I think I returned my prize three times.
                             Thankfully, other people won prizes too which made a
                             happy ending to a perfect day and I got home just in
                                                                                           As soon as we arrived at Manor Koi we made
                             time to hear them singing the national anthems at the         our way to the main pond to view the wide
