If you are holding out and still thinking about doing a workshop with Koji Hiramatsu when he visits Adelaide for the AABC National Convention in May, then now is time to act.

Programmes are very reasonably priced with the Friday programme (including lunch) for $50 and a space with Koji in his afternoon workshop just $70.

The Friday setting up a exhibition activity will be for a maximum of 20 participants (afternoon is available) and Koji will step participants through the finer points of setting up your club's exhibition. You will have three point display not only explained, but created ... and you will be part of the process.

The SA Bonsai - through the support of Masters Hardware - will have their new tokoname at the exhibition, and Koji will step participants through the process of setting up your tokaname.

As an addition, I will be supplying notes on successful marketing strategies that are cost effective, and I have found to have been effective. You will go away with a tool-box of skills to improve your club's future exhibitions and improve on number through the door.

On Monday 18 May Koji has positions still available for his afternoon programme.

So ... please do not waste the opportunity, the time is almost here ... just 46 more days until Adelaide 2015!

Having another go at the Agriculture department again tomorrow, as I was told that because I am bringing it back in under a week it should be A OK so wish me luck.

I will do that Ken. I was told by someone who went on a Caravan holiday, so we shall see.

Unfortunately what I was told was wrong I can take it over and bring it back if I bare root it and Shimpaku do not like that .

Sorry Guys.

Such a pity ... and we import cherries from the USA!

Had this message from another AusBonsai member

Hi Andrew,
Mate I can't believe there are still participant positions available with Koji.
I can't wait to get my old black pine in front of him for what I'm sure will be a worthwhile workshop.
Cheers,


There is no problem as far as moving plants between SA, Victoria, NSW, ACT ... I know it is difficult (sometimes impossible) with Queensland, Tasmania, WA. I'm not certain with NT.

It's a brilliant opportunity that is here to be scooped up. Ausbonsaiers ... what are you waiting for?
