The quality of trees at the Swindon ‘Winter Image’ show was exceptional this year. There were trees from all abilities but all were beautifully presented for display. Lots of thought had gone into accents and scrolls to compliment the overall tokonoma. The Swindon club were joined by 90 club members/traders and Invited Exhibitors to ensure that the 400 visitors could enjoy the show. Lots of quality goods were purchased and even more photographs were taken. Thank you to all those who donated to the raffle. I am still sorting through over 300 photos and more will be added later and the winning trees under a separate post. Thanks go to Andy/Mandy for exceptional photographs considering the problems we had with lighting.
