The work that is involved in putting on any kind of show is usually quite considerable and this is true of a bonsai show. The Club members and their families who help to support the Swindon Bonsai Club displayed many of their own bonsai trees this year.

Some of the club members have been doing bonsai since the 1960’s and are able to display their trees, which they have developed during that time. Terry Adams kindly offered to print labels for club members to provide more details on the origin of the bonsai trees as well as details on the tree species and pot.

It was also great that some of the newer club members put on their own displays so different trees are on display each year so there are new exhibits to promote interest and discussion.
