Bummer I cannot make it.
Is anyone from Sydney or further south heading up to the show?
If so call me as I have a small package to deliver to one of the committee there

Re: Bimer Bonsai Show - Brisbane, 9-10 April
I look forward to getting to the show. I was directed to the Bimer club by Robin Godfrey, but the website is a little out of date, so I promptly gave up... I know, I know, I need to learn some patience....lol

Re: Bimer Bonsai Show - Brisbane, 9-10 April
The show setup is done and we will dust it tomorrow. The trade tables are full of bargains, pots, books, stands and green stock. A very large collection of old potted trees that are styled but have had no work for a few years is on offer. Please come and enjoy, ask for me and I will give you a tour.

That is a privet for display only - it is a very large tree the pot would have to be 900mm across.
Another couple of great trees from the show

Re: Bimer Bonsai Show - Brisbane, 9-10 April
If you are in Brisbane come up the Mt Cootha and check out our show. We are there 9.00am to 4pm and today is less hectic than yesterday. Plenty of time for a chat about all things bonsai

I only managed to sneak in at the end, but wow, there wasn't much left in the sales area, and the display was stellar, well done Bimer!
