Re: AusBonsai Shohin Progressive Styling Competition 2011 ★ ★ ★

Post by Steven »

G'day,

The deadline of 30th November has been and gone. Unfortunately, despite many reminders and PM's sent to those needing to update, some entries were not updated within the initial 3 months therefore are no longer eligible to compete for the Erin pots. They are however most welcome to continue to participate and update their threads with the progress of their shohin in the making.

Those entries that have missed the deadline will have their subject marked with ★ ★ ★ like this post has been.

Regards,
Steven
