Hey Ray,

Sorry I missed your post mate! I'm not actually sure if they will be or not, i know last year they did so good chance they will this year too :) If I remember, I'll ask at the meeting tonight for you! Always get there first thing saturday morning, as that is where you'll find all the good stuff :P

Shaping up to be a great show! Look forward to seeing everyone there :)

Cheers
Jason

So close now!! Only three sleeps to go before the show begins! :aussie:

If any one is coming down, please come and say hello, I'm always keen to meet new people (and not so new :P) and share some bonsai love. Any excuse to talk bonsai is a good one in my books :lol: I'll be the tall dude with dreads... if you can't find me, just look up ;) haha

Cheers Graham, another year or two and you'll probably be seeing some of your pots featuring in our show, with some of my bonsai in them :P unless another member is already using some, which is definitely possible! :)

You honestly have to be there as soon as the doors open, it happens so fast hey. I'm in the same boat though, we don't get to buy anything until doors open either, so I'll be racing you there :P

I remember the first year I went, I made the mistake of having a look at the displays first... learnt my lesson right there and then :lol: haha
