Re: [GSAS-board] Possible speakers

[Paul Wallace <pwallace@u.washington.edu>]

Clay:

The event was hosted by the Washington Koi and Water Garden Society 
(http://www.washingtonkoi.org/).  They meet on the third Wednesday of the month 
and I would really like to know the opinions of someone whom is able to attend 
a meeting.

I would like to propose at the board meeting that we schedule a weekend field 
trip to Russel Water Gardens (or equivalent) in the spring to see the new 
stock.  From talking with them at the show it sounds like we could have a 
guided tour and potentially a discount.  Should I push for this?  I liked 
seeing the koi in person and only a soggy diaper kept me from staying much 
longer.

Do we have a firm date for Steev's Koi bowl show?  Do we need an official 
WK&WGS judge?

-Paul
