Hi to all the goulburn guys my son and I met today. It was nice to finally meet you watto! And your recommendation for me, Pat and my son Bowie at the Hibernian hotel was spot on. Beer and good food .... Thanks watto and crew!

My son loved the bumper cars and markets, but gee it was cold.
I look forward now to the CBS show next week.

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

Good to meet a few Ausbonsai people and all the visitors.
The weather might have been a little cool but the welcome is always warm. We hope everyone enjoys the bonsai.

As promised, ad couple of pics of the pots I came home with

Viv is a lovely lady and has some great hand made pots for very cheap prices. She uses glases and textures in Earthy tones mostly and they will be great with many of our native trees :yes:

Still plenty more on the table when I left :-)

Hi Folks,
I went down to the exhibition today with the School of Bonsai. We took a bus load of members down to have a look at the exhibition. It was great to catch up with Watto and a number of other club members. It was a great exhibition. With so few members it was a credit to them on the show they put on. I had the joy of discussing a number of the Bonsai with Watto and other members.

Congratulations to the club for a great show. :aussie: :aussie: :tu: :clap:

Regards Ray

A thanks to all the visitors form near and far who came to visit. After a shocking weather day on the Saturday the Sunday was terrific and visitor numbers on the Sunday were great.
In the next couple of days I will start a new post with some photos but for now I need a day off.
