Getting close to the day ... Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 July in Bendigo!

It's shaping up to be a terrific weekend. Certainly is value for money.

Tony Bebb ... Don Delucca ... Joe Morgan-Payler ... Steve Jarrold

Two demonstrators will be working in tandum with those who register for formal workshops inside the rowing club rooms while at least one other wanders and helps general registrants outside the rooms.

Saturday morning there is a bonsai car-boot sale in the carpark of the rowing club, all weekend there will be a mini-show of bonsai which is available for the public.

Saturday evening event is a canape event at the Lakeview Motor Inn ... a dual demonstration with all four demonstrators working in two teams to share their combined creative talents with us. Finger food will be provided and a cash bar available.

Zyggy has put the registration details out there ... you have just a couple of days left to register!

I have the word that there is going to be some awesome stuff for sale at the car boot sale.
there will only be bonsai people with bonsai pots, bonsai, pre-bonsai material, yamadori,
and any thing else you can think of.
Apart from the formal workshops available, all participants can bring along trees to work on in a friendly environment,
tables will be provided around the venue for this, come along, grab a spot and take advantage of the demonstrators that will be there to give you some free advice on that problem tree.
Register now to be part of this get together that has a working formula not seen in Victoria before.
A real gala / festival day for all bonsai enthusiasts. No entry fee to check out the display or the boot sale in the carpark.

Still not too late to register for Bonsai Lakeside in Bendigo. We have good registrations but there are still places available in all of the workshops.

The workshops are open to all registrants ... you need to register and pay for the event.

The workshops are an additional $30 pp per workshop ... Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon.

Each workshop is being shared by two of our guests so you'll be getting twice as much tutor input as you would normally receive in a workshop.

You can pay by direct debit to BFA Southern Bendigo Bank Account and email your registration to David Allen (Secretary) mercman2@bigpond.com
