In 2007 Cuttlebrook Koi Farm in Oxfordshire very kindly held an auction of their superb English bred koi for the benefit of the British Koi Keepers Society. The auction was held on the 7th April and was for members of the Society. Although the attendance was qute small the atmosphere was not the less electrifying!! Especially gratifying was the attendance of Cliff Neale and John Helens, both past winners of the Grand Champion award at our National Show. As the fish were floated in baskets up and down the water channel it soon became obvious that there were bargains to be had, this was emphasised when husband and wife, Mark & Sue Chetter, begain bidding against each other! Interestingly enough some of the koi purchased at the auction won prizes at the National and other shows in 2007.
