Congratulation to Geert, our Forum Advisor
 

On behalf of every one in the Petsfanatics Ranchu Club and the Absolute team, we would like to extend a hearty congratulation to Geert, our forum advisor, for his performance in a ranchu competition held in England this past weekend. Geert won the East Ozeki (1st) for the Oya Class which is the most auspicious prize of the Show and his students also did very well in the other classifications, as well. I do not presume to know all the details, but I do hope that Geert will share with us some of the pictures and stories behind the scene in due course. Again, congratulation Geert, and keep up the good work. You are truely representing for the ranchu hobby in Europe. Bravo, dude. :bigsmile:

Congrats Geert!!
We are proud of your achievement and passion in ranchu keeping.

Hello Pat,
Hello Silvanus,

Thank you very much for your nice words.
It is true that my Ranchu became East Ozeki Oya, West Ozeki Tosai and Tosai 3rd at the Ranchu Show in England. Although Ranchu Shows in Europe are very small compared to the Shows in Japan and Thailand, I am very happy.
I hope to show you some photos soon. Unfortunately, I did not take any photos myself. I have to wait until my friends send me some photos. But its a promise.

Regards,

Geert Coppens

Please do not worry about the size of your competition. Just the fact that you have an annual competition every year is already impressive enough. I look forward to seeing the pictures of all your trophy ranchu. Congrat on winning many trophies too.
