Thanks for the feedback Rudi. We certainly had a great time with Pavel and Jakub. They are two fine ambassadors for bonsai internationally.
I am really looking forward to Tony Tickle, I think his personality will be welcomed and enjoyed by all.
Cheers
Leigh

Hi Paul
We are still firming up all details before any further announcements. My line is always open for you to contact me directly rather than on a public forum.

Hi Everyone
Please see the attached PDFs. Unfortunately, while resizing them to a size suitable to download here, I have lost some resolution in the images.
Not to worry, all of the information is clear.
We are now taking bookings for the Friday events, please call or email if you are keen to be involved.
Regards
Leigh.

Just expanding on the pot expo.
There are now eleven potters involved in showcasing their wares. Should be very interesting --- I'm certainly looking forward to it. As well as the static display of pots, there are going to be pottery demos ---- how often and the potters involved I'm not quite sure as we're from all over the country. I'm going to be there all week so maybe I'll be watch-on-stop-on.
I hope not!!!
Cheers, and come and say hello,
Pat

Hi Everyone
Wow! Immediately the response has been overwhelming.
Bookings are streaming in!
I will just give you all a heads-up.
Tony's presentation on the Friday afternoon "From Mountain To Exhibition" is a FREE event.
However, it is limited by numbers and is already half full.
If you are keen to be in the audience, do not delay your booking.
Phone 02 6207 8484 to book.
Regards
Leigh

I've just registered for Tony's presentation and the evening demo and I believe there are still a few places left but you had better get in quick.
We are really fortunate to have Tony coming especially now that he has won the highly acclaimed award at the most prestigious bonsai exhibition outside of Japan, the Noelanders Trophy. This will really increase his exposure and make him a wanted demonstrator.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone in Canberra!
Thanks Leigh for your efforts in arranging this.
Regards,
Steven
