Tonights meeting Part 1 of a talk by Mark and Ritta Cooper on Bonsai exhibitions – a fairer system of awarding prizes. It was a very successful evening with a good range of lively discussion on the topic of judging and some food for thought.
The British Suiseki Club and other clubs and societies put on a marvellous display of suiseki at Bonsai World at the K2 Centre this year. It was an impressive display of viewing stones of all colours, shapes and sizes.
This weekend it was Bonsai World 2015 presented by the Sussex Bonsai Group at K2 Centre in Crawley, West Sussex. It was also in memory of Ray Ward and proved to again be a very good show at a superb venue.

With over 20 different traders at the Bonsai World event this weekend it was hard to know what to look at first or buy and it was an excellent opportunity to pick up a bargain as well as buy some high quality bonsai trees and supplies.
During a club Saturday workshop Reg helped us to make some small pots mainly for accents. We all then returned a few weeks later to glaze them,
