Exhibition 16-17 March - Bonsai Society of the Central Coast

Post by corko »

Howdy, haven't been on this site in ages, but just thought I should post this up for anyone in Sydney that feels like a drive and anyone who is on the central coast and not a member of the society.
Cheers
Adam

Exhibition 16-17 March - Bonsai Society of the Central Coast

Post by hugh grant »

For all those who have come before just take note that the exhibition is in a new location this year at Erina fair. Only a 5 minute drive from the previous venue though.
Looking forward to seeing you all there! Would be great to catch up with a few ausbonsai memebers!

Adam,
Thanks for posting the notice, it's always a great show & not far from Newcastle.

Hugh,
I am glad you mentioned the new location, I didn't open the flyer & would have been a bit miffed when I turned up at the old location...

Not a problem Matt, thought it might be a good idea just in case.

I'll be taking pics too (hopefully of each tree) and I'm going to attempt to put my video skills together and shoot the weekend for all to see.

Hi and Thanks

I visited the show today with my family and we were impressed win the quality of the trees on display.

Returned to Sydney very please with my 9 new pots from Penny I received an unexpected phone call. You have won a prize in the raffle, the pink flowering azalea.

I am looking forward to collecting my prize later this week.

This just made my day.

Hi Hugh,

Could you tell us which tree won the visitors choice please. Great venue which might do better if you posted a board upstairs to have more patronage. :cool:
