How do you purchase the above Koi?

On arrival, please register at the front counter. You will be allocated a set of numbered counters. These numbers are unique to you.

Each Koi in the Japanese Style Open sale will be displayed in show vats. They will have a corresponding photo, along with details and price. Should you wish to purchase a particular Koi, place one of your counters in the plastic wallet attached to the photo.

In the below example three people have entered for this Koi.

After lunch, we then proceed to the draw. If you are the only person opting for said koi, you win by default. Should there be more than one counter, we will take a draw.

Using the example above there are three counters, therefore there will be three chopsticks, one is clearly marked. Each number is read out, and a chopstick is picked at random from the box. Once the marked chopstick has been chosen, we have a winning counter.

Prior to the draw, the counters will be verified to make sure there is only one counter per person/family for a certain koi. Should we find multiple counters for the same person/family, these will be withdrawn! Please play fair, this will save us and everyone at the event TIME!

You will be given as many tokens as you wish so you may opt for more than one Koi. We understand that you may not be able to purchase all of the Koi you have opted for, don't worry! When the draw takes place we will start with the most expensive Koi first and work our way down the order. If you win a Koi you may then withdraw from future lots, we understand that you may not be able to afford all of the Koi you have opted for. Please approach a member of staff to withdraw your tokens.

Please make note of your number and which Koi you wish to withdraw from.
