I would suggest that anyone with even a slight interest in bonsai should get along to this spectacular show, open Sunday and Monday only. Not only will there be bonsai, suiseki and penjing, but also many of our well known traders all in the same venue, as well as demonstrations and advice.
Be there or miss out

Sue Brennan from BSA will be doing Demos, mid-morning and mid-afternoon, on the Sunday.
Brenda Parker from Illawarra same on the Monday.
Both really interesting - don't miss this.
Where else can you get 4 demos for the price of a gold coin?
