Thanks to Steven for organising and running a great day. Even the weather behaved.

Saw lots of happy buyers and sellers.

All up a credit to Steven and the Ausbonsai team.

Was a great day. Thanks to Steven for another well organised event. I was one of the happy sellers. I think it's only going to get bigger and better. A great selection of trees,pots and equipment with prices to suit every budget.

Met a few more of the ausbonsai community today. Always great to put faces to names. There were a few people that made comments that ausbonsai was a great place to get real advice from people's experience which I thought was cool.

I think a couple of events a year like this could be feasible if the boss didn't find it too demanding?

Squizzy

Ps. Might need a bigger venue soon though. I'd be interested in knowing the numbers that passed through.

Well done Steven, it all went very well, it is getting bigger than Ben Hur, was very busy early, bigger venue next time might be needed as squizzy mentioned.
Picked up a couple of more bargains. :lol:
A credit to your organising skills. :tu:
