This is the premier event of Bonsai Week (29 Feb - 6 Mar 2016).

Re: "Style With Pavel" March 4 - 2016
Is anyone coming from Queensland, South Australia, or Northern Territory? How about New Zealand, or another country?
This event is shaping up to be a major attraction on Australia's bonsai calendar, hopefully as it grows it will attract interest from abroad.

Re: "Style With Pavel" March 4 - 2016
One vote for Walter Pall.....
anyone keen to see someone else?
BTW - "Style With Pavel" is heating up ! We will be having 7 trees auctioned on the night ! Not only the demonstration tree from Pavel on the night, but also 3 other very old trees, 2 of which were worked on by Yusuke Uchida from Japan, and 3 semi-prepared pre-bonsai.
