Post by NBPCA »

"Style With Pavel"
An Arboretum International Bonsai Experience


This is the premier event of Bonsai Week (29 Feb - 6 Mar 2016).

A Gala Cocktail Evening Demonstration by Mr Slovak. An opportunity to dress up and socialise with good friends while experiencing the wonders of the Arboretum of an evening. Watch the sun setting from the award winning Village Centre Complex, see the Bonsai & Penjing Collection under lights, marvel Pavel as he transforms a stock tree into a bonsai masterpiece within a relaxed and comfortable setting, then have a chance to bid on that very tree at auction. (Other auctions will happen throughout the evening).

This is a ticketed event, bookings can be made at the Visitor Services Desk within the Village Centre, or by calling 02 6207 8484 between 9am and 4pm. The price of tickets is $35 and includes a selection of 3 substantial canapes (kinda entree size really) plus one drink voucher. The bar will be available for cash purchases of further drink refreshments. Bookings must be made prior to 26 February.

Book this exclusive event early to avoid disappointment.

Is anyone coming from Queensland, South Australia, or Northern Territory? How about New Zealand, or another country?

This event is shaping up to be a major attraction on Australia's bonsai calendar, hopefully as it grows it will attract interest from abroad.

One vote for Walter Pall.....

anyone keen to see someone else?

BTW - "Style With Pavel" is heating up ! We will be having 7 trees auctioned on the night ! Not only the demonstration tree from Pavel on the night, but also 3 other very old trees, 2 of which were worked on by Yusuke Uchida from Japan, and 3 semi-prepared pre-bonsai.
Cheers,
Leigh.
