Congratulations to Ian Stewardson, John Armitage and Mark & Ritta Cooper who all won awards at the show.
The show was well attended and boasted a good variety of species in the club displays section. This is a great opportunity to pick up some sundries ready for the approaching repotting season. Good to talk with Ken Leaver from Windybank and Lee Verhorevoort, as well as Davey Jones from Wallsall Ceramics, Kaizen Bonsai and Adrian Long’s UK Bonsai Turntables.

Newbury & District Bonsai Society display
Newbury Bonsai Society exhibit annually at the Royal County of Berkshire Show and this years Bonsai display won a Gold medal so a good reward for all the work that goes into the trees and setting up the display and congratulations to all those involved.
As some Club members belong to a range of clubs, a few of Swindon Club Members who also belong to Newbury had some of their trees on the display.
We hope to see one of these again, a Bonsai car boot sale. Based in Hertfordshire Garden Centre just outside Redbourn.
Devising a plan, apart from keeping it alive is one of the best things you can do for your bonsai. At our last club meeting we decided to discuss a way ahead for a selection of our trees – I suppose you could consider this as the minutes.
TA: Siberian Elm, wants to copy an ancient oak from nature which is leaning over and to keep it as a small tree

Another nice show at Failands, Near Bristol. Unfortunately, I had to leave before any awards were announced.
The society was invited to exhibit at this year’s Wanborough Show, a non-profit local show to Swindon with a good selection of entertainment, you can find out more about the show here or enjoy pictures of our trees
