2012 Gold Coast-Tweed Bonsai Show 10th & 11th Nov

[Hackimoto]

Thanks I'm flattered. That first pingii is mine and I only restyled it about 4 or 5 months ago, I have a lot more refining to do. The Azalea at the base of the mountain is also mine.

Thanks for posting pics Hack! It has been a few years since I have missed the show.
Not sure I agree with the best in show award, at least not from the pic, but I do think judging is a good thing

Thanks for the pics Hack

Damn shame I didn't get around to coming down. It all looks good as usual.

Sounds like you all had a good time Sat night also.

Sorry for the text stalking Tony. Wasn't my idea.

Finally have a few more pics to share from the weekend!

These pics all feature stands that I have made myself. Really happy with how the latest ones have come out.

It was a great turn out over the weekend. We had quite a few interested people asking questions at the workshop, hopefully the seed has been planted for them to pursue bonsai further. Big thanks again to Hackimoto for his excellent demonstration of grafting and layering techniques, and applying an airlayer to my swampy.

Thanks Ray, I've had a couple of requests to repeat it at the December meeting at Carole's place, so I probably will and show the results of the demo the other day.

It is on again this weekend.

It is on again this weekend. Keep in mind that it is on the 9th and 10th of November, THIS WEEKEND.

I look forward to getting down there in the morning and getting some more great information.

Haven't got any trees in this time, I think I am at the stage of learning where i can see faults easier so many of my trees are at a recovering from majour work stages. Hopefully for next year i will have a couple worthy of entry.

On the plus side looking at the photo of the tree I had in last year I am surprised how far it has come.

Craig Jurd is demonstrating Saturday and Hackimoto is demonstrating on Sunday. I will be on the workshop table most of the weekend so come along and say hi.

See you there.

Well done Ray and Jeff and all the committee- another great show! I picked up a couple of bargain trees, and took over 100 photos, so plenty of inspiration for a newby.
