What an awesoem day with Koji,
Thanks to Steven and Evan for running it and excellent Venue steven

Fun thing this afternoon when Steven Challenged Koji to go and find items to create a Shohin display and set it up in 5 minutes.
Excellent Job by Koji as he made it with 2 minutes to spare.

He ran out to stevens benches and came back with a selection of trees and set up the display in quick time,
note it helps when there is ample quality trees to select from eh Steven!

Good fun and instructive day

To say the day was great would be under statement, what an event that Steven put together, seamlessly run with continual talks and demos sharing well prepared, sound and inspiring information by Koji, Steven and Evan.
Over the years I have been to a lot of events and I can confidently say that the catering was taken to another level with Evans parents dishing up one the best lunches I have had at a Bonsai event.
The Aus Bonsai studio was is an amazing venue the gardens looked fantastic thanks to skills and talent of John M.
Then to finish of the day by winning the raffle, I am now the proud owner of a new Green T turntable soon to be readily available on a bonsai site near you.
A big thank you to Koji, Evan and Steven and I look forward in anticipation for the next event!
