He is coming to Bris on the 8th October before heading home. Hosted jointly by Bonsai Society Qld Inc and Bimer Bonsai Club. Workshop in the morning and demo in the afternoon. For more details go to bonsaisocietyqld.asn.au
Really looking forward to that weekend.

If your in Melbourne then check out Bonsai Northwest's website (
http://www.bonsainorthwest.com.au ) for all of the details regarding Bill's visit. Monday 3rd October will be the main meeting night and Bill will be doing running a critique night. Tuesday 4th October will be the workshop night and there are only two places left for anyone interested. Come as an observer if you don't want to be in the workshop.

G'day,
There are a couple of places available for Mr. Valavanis' lecture at North Rocks tomorrow (Wednesday) night. The lecture commences at 7:15pm sharp and $25 will secure you a seat. If you have a tree suitable for critique, bring it along.
There is also a place available at each of the AM and PM workshops. The morning session is at Ray Nesci bonsai nursery and the evening one is at Don More Community Centre North Rocks. More details are in Scott's post above. $45 is all it costs for a workshop session with a 50 year bonsai veteran.
If you are interested you can book by phoning Clinton Nesci on 9654 1893.
See you there
Steven
