BCI 2014

Post by PeterW »

Sunrise on Australian Bonsai

The 27th National Bonsai Convention hosted by the Association of Australian Bonsai Clubs Ltd. (AABC) & Bonsai Clubs International (BCI) is being held between the 21st – 24th of August 2014 on the Gold Coast at the QT Gold Coast resort.
Lots of international headliners as well as our own team of local demonstrators ready to perform.
The cut off for the early bird registrations is closing on the 1st February so you will have to be quick to take advantage of the offer. The brochure attached should explain it all but if you have any questions, there are contact details in the attachment.

Hey Guy's The convention is less than 2 weeks away, it's going to be a great few days with some astounding guests and what better, it's on the Gold Coast! I believe the cut off for registrations is only a couple of days away so if you are thinking of coming to the convention then it's time to stop thinking at get moving. I believe this is only the second time that BCI has been held in Aus. some of us may not see that again! :cry: I'll be there for sure, hope to catch up with a few Ausbonsai members. Michael.

Hi Michael,

Do you know what date the cut off is exactly? I couldn't seem to find it in the flyer.

Thanks,
Nigel

Nothing on the website either, perhaps give Glennis Bebb a call : 0427 739 025. She is handling Registrations I think.

There is something entrancing about that banksia. I could stare at that for hours. :shock:

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.
