The Association of Australian Bonsai Clubs Ltd (AABC) has recently appointed Leigh Taafe to the register of National Demonstrators. [scroll down to bottom of linked page to see list (and if you know the webmaster there, ask them to fix it please)]
Leigh joins the ranks of AusBonsai members, Grant Bowie, Pup, Skippy, Brenda Parker and some of Australia's other great bonsai artists and demonstrators.
Clubs can now book Leigh along with any other registered demonstrator and take advantage of the Visiting Tutor Program.
Congratulations Leigh! I look forward to seeing you demonstrating more around the clubs.
Regards,
Steven

Congratulations leigh.
I'm still trying to get Pup over here, but our committee is a little slow to make a move on this yet. Your name, too will certainly go on the list.

Re: AABC's latest registered National Demonstrator
Congratulation Leigh. Our club uses the Visiting Tutor program every year and think it is brilliant. Our next meeting, September, we'll have Tony Bebb coming down as the visiting tutor this year. Should be a great demo as John M is putting up a very tall shimpaku juniper for Tony to work on.

Whilst walking through the forest of Bonsai Myths, I found a single small tree.

Congratulations, Leigh. Well deserved! I bet you lost count of all the demo's you have already done, even since you started in Canberra. Best wishes for the future!

Thanks everyone, I just hope I get used by the clubs. I think there are a few people on the list who dont get used very often.
