The Hastings Bonsai Group 2nd Annual Bonsai Exhibition, to be held from Friday 27th February to the 1st March 2015.
It will be held over 3 days in the auditorium at Port Macquarie Panthers, Bay Street, Port Macquarie NSW.
This year, Port Macquarie - Hastings Council will be celebrating 25 years of friendship with our sister city, Handa, in Japan.
Our bonsai exhibition will be part of the celebrations, so it will be a big year for our group being part of these celebrations.
Our group will be again be supporting Westpac Rescue Helicopter Sevices, so we are working for a good cause.
Last year, we had 150 trees on display, so we are hoping to have this amount of trees again

Re: Hastings Bonsai Group Exhibition
Went and checked this out. Fantastic venue and awesome trees. Unfortunately couldn't spend much time. I did get some pics, but the home internet wigging out so I haven't been able to post. Will when I can unless someone else beats me to it
