Bonsai Society of Qld Bonsai Exhibition

[Tony Bebb]

Next weekend on the 8th & 9th of Sept will be the 34th Annual Bonsai Exhibition of the Bonsai Society of Queensland Inc. As always this will be held in the Auditorium at the Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens and is open from 9am till 4pm both days with an entry fee of $5. Demonstrations will be conducted at 11am and 2pm on both days by some of our most experienced members.

There will be around 100 Bonsai on display as well as a display of Suiseki and Viewing Stones from around the world. There is a mix of informal and formal display of Bonsai and an entry feature garden. Trophies are awarded for the best Bonsai in different size categories, and there is a Peoples Choice vote as well. An extensive trade area is there for you to purchase a wide range of Bonsai products from traders and members with some great bargains on offer. There is also a raffle available for the chance to win yourself a Bonsai.

This year we welcome members of the AABC Ltd executive and delegates for their AGM at 2pm.

Hope to see you there.

Setting up the Exhibition tomorrow at Mt Coot-tha and will try and get some early pics up for you to see.

Remember demos are at 11am and 2pm both days and we will have plenty of Bonsai stuff for sale. I will be there most of the weekend and will be doing the 2pm demo on Sat if you want to come and say Hi

Didn't realise you did a demo Tony

[Bougy Fan]

Seriously do you have any pictures of your demo. Sorry I missed it but I had some work stuff to do

[Shannon]

Just for you Bougy.......

Tony had a very informative and entertaining demo as always but kept babbling on about something called symmetry

[Shannon]

Here's a pic of the under 4Ocm winner, great tree!!

[Tony Bebb]

Thanks Shannon

Under 40cm winner is a Clerodendrum. I think that's how you spell it.

I will be getting some more pics, and some more work done, on my demo tree today. It is the air layer I took from the Juni in a post here a while ago.

Open from 9 till 4 today, so come and say G'day.
