thats one way to learn , please wait till the 1st September before you start Matt, good luck
I'd like to lodge a formal complaint about the rules of this competition. I live in South Africa, so I can only start nine hours after you lot. Nine hours is a lot of growing you know!!!! It's REALLY unfair!
It would be the first of september wouldn't it? Just really early in the morning. I can wait until tomorrow after school anyway. I think I asked this before but Steven said in the OP that we may have to prove we haven't styled it, (paraphrasing, hope I'm not putting words in your mouth). Will we have to and if so how? A photo with tomorrows newspaper?

Yeah but you get 9 hours more at the close of the comp to do the final tidy up too

I'll get dad to go get the paper in the morning then. Too late for one though could hardly wait until 12. Oh well if it gets disqualified it gets disqualified. Good luck everybody, I can't wait to see some great bonsai in 14 months!

That was a suggestion Steven made tonight. Post a before styling tree pic, with the the days paper
good Idea if we can
Ken
If the free local paper arrives this week I can use that... good excuse to take it out of the wrapper before binning it
Roll on thursday WOOHOO... now if only I could decide on #3 gggrrrr
Matt
I have just been reminded that we will have daylight savings when the comp finishes, do we poor sods who have to suffer it get an extension too???
