Award time
Superb collection of bonsai trees again on display again this year at our show and it was a tough judging time for our 6 judges and here are the award winners receiving their awards. Thank you to everyone though who had a bonsai tree on display at our show and helped in the set up plus everyone who came to admire them, it made for a very worth while and fun day and continues to be an enjoyable hobby for so many which is great.
