And we fight each other liao......

Thanks Steve.
We will try to share as many event photos as possible.
We are lucky to have RG forum to reach every International Hobbyists.
Although we are far from each others, but we communicate almost everyday!!!

The categories and the fee will be more or less same as the previous.
Please be patence.
We are trying to re-solve some technical issue with regards to the fee collection with the relevant CC.
I will keep everyone posted promptly
But please help to spread the news as much, especially to those hobbyists who don't connect themselves virtually.


Thanks Lawerence!
VRC members will do their best to manage good show.
Although this is our third time running the show, we will not be complacent.
I agree with you VERY MUCH that All Ranchu hobbyists should take this golden opportunity.
It doesn't comes often.....kekeke!!!

hey Doc,
The judges that we have invited are super neutral in nature.
I hope our past shows had more or less convinced every participants how professional our honourable Judges can be.
So please do not worry about favourtism.

No no I'm not doubting the credentials of these judges but as in all shows(fish,dogs beauty contest,star search,american idols etc),it is better to have more than one judge and odd in number to better assess the contestants without prejudice or preference.
I hope I'm not asking for too much as I know bringing in such internationally renowned judges don't come cheap apart from the time taken and other related issues.Just a suggestion




Your blacks in Cat A mine in Cat B................Where got fight huh?

You undermine me har...........................?
May be another 2 months Cat B liao.............

I thank Vanda Ranchu Club and Desmond for being direct in naming the judges from the outset. I think it is of utmost importance for a hobbyist to know who the judges are first before participating as I know my Ranchu will be judged fairly. I am confident that the judging for the 3rd National Ranchu Competition 2007 will be first class This is also based on my experience in the 2nd National Ranchu Competition and the points given to all the top view Ranchus which participated and which can be viewed by all (hopefully this will still be the same ). It was certainly an open and fair competition. This is why all hobbyists should participate as far as possible. In the last competition, points were given to our Ranchus and we can compare our grooming with the Ranchus of other hobbyists and we will certainly learn from the experience, besides the fun of it. We will not learn anything if points are given for the wrong reasons.

This will no doubt be a national competition

Don't forget blacks are relatively slow in growth

So based on previous year categorisation,yours should still be under 14cm by year end

GOT BLACK cat only meh? also mix with the rest what...
