Bonsai Exhibition At Port Macquarie NSW

The Hastings Bonsai Group is holding their Annual Bonsai Exhibition on Friday 28th February, Saturday 1st March (from 10am to 5pm), and Sunday 2nd March (10am to 3pm).

The Hastings Bonsai Group was started by three enthusiast in March 2013 and held its first workshop/meeting in June 2013. We meet on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Rotary Hall, Hastings River Drive, Port Macquarie NSW, from 10:00am to 3:00pm. We have 72 members in our group now.

At the exhibition, you will see arange of trees from our member's collections. We will have over 60 trees on display, plus an apprentice table, where our newest members who are just starting out, will display the trees that they have been working on over the past 8 months.

During our 3 day show, Ray and Clinton Nesci, from Sydney, will be carrying out morning and afternoon bonasi demonstrations on how to start out in bonsai. Ray and Clinton own a well established bonsai nursery, and will have a trade stand selling everything that you need for bonsai. This includes pre-bonsai and advanced bonsai trees.

We are asking the public to take part by voting for their favourite tree at the show, and there is a prize draw for a $50 Bunnings gift voucher for the winning name drawn.

Young children will have something to do too; we are running a competition where they have to find the skeleton incorporated in a bonsai. All correct entrants will have a chance to win a $30 toy shop voucher.

The Hastings Bonsai Group raises funds for the Westpac Helicopter Rescue Service.

Our group will be running a raffle during the exhibition, with first prize being the choice of a bonsai tree or a Bunnings garden hamper. Third prize is a Bunnings $50 gift voucher.
