A great show to attend, poster has all the details. Bristol club website………. https://bristolbonsaisociety.wordpress.com/
Sally & Derek were both awarded the prestigious club merit award this year. This annual award is presented to our club member (or members in this case) for greatest improvement in their trees and generally just getting stuck in with club goings on.
Along with the day of the show, this video by Dan Rance AKA DR Bonsai also demonstrates some of the work with the team that goes into setting up the UKBA EXPO XI. Some of the best bonsai in the UK are on display here, and with the vast space that the K2 leisure centre in Crawley provides, is well attended.
Congratulations to the Expo team, the event was thoroughly enjoyed.
What a great show and a fun day to catch up with everyone and talk trees. Congratulations to the whole team of UKBA who are involved in making it happen year after year and to all those who entered their bonsai displays which were awesome. A special thanks to Simon Haddon who arranged for the Andrew Pearson tribute and all those who supported it by bringing in pots for the display, it was superb and a great way to honour Andy and his talent as an artist.
A few picture galleries of the show below, showing the range of bonsai displays as well as being supported by a brillant group of bonsai traders from across the UK so there were lots of buying opportunities for all your bonsai needs.
After a report on here by Ross regarding a Japanese black pine…………way back in 2020, I finally had the time to have a go but on a much smaller scale. https://swindon-bonsai.co.uk/2020/09/06/creating-an-exposed-root/
After a 6.30 start it was nice to get to be a passenger princess for the second half of the 3 hour trip to The Newark Showground with Neve driving the second leg. From the size of the queue, it was clear that given the sad demise of the Doncaster Show that Newark Bonsai-Fest was ready to take up the mantle.
A colourful AGM last night with a number of flowering trees placed on the display. All members of the committee remain in post and one of the main objects of the evening was to agree on a revised club constitution which was voted for unanimously, this will soon replace the one already on our website.
