John Pitt Bonsai Ceramics Ltd
Thank you to our show sponsor John Pitt, and to all the traders who attended our show – it was great to have so much to see and buy. Also a big thank you to all those who bought something at the show, it was cracking to see you all there. If you were buying for the first time as you are starting the hobby or stocking up for your collection – that was great, it is always fun to buy bonsai and is what keeps the whole thing going.
Japanese White Pine, Best Evergreen by Mark and Ritta Cooper
This year at our Winter Show there were also some stunning evergreen / coniferous trees including a great collection of both Japanese White Pines and Japanese Black Pines as well as one or two admired examples of Scots Pines.
Best deciduous, Mark & Ritta Cooper
Winter image has to be one of the best times of year to view and display bonsai when you can see the fabulous tracery, silhouette and all the structural attributes of a tree in full. The deciduous bonsai on display lived up to expectation too as you can see from the Best Deciduous of Mark and Ritta Copper in addition to many of the other deciduous species on display throughout the show this year. It certainly was a good year for winter image displays and trees.
This year Gerrit Lodder is hosting another Open House at Lodder Bonsai bv on the weekend of the 7th and 8th March. There will be demonstrations, exhibitions, sales stands and everything related to your bonsai hobby so come along.

Best Accent, Peter Tombs
Here were some of the other accents at our Winter Image Show…
Show time has come around so quickly, and the Swindon Winter Image Show tends to be the first show in the UK to start the season off and it did not disappoint with so many amazing trees on display from Club Members, Visiting Clubs and Societies plus all the Individual exhibitors and traders.
So a big thank you to everyone who attended and to all those involved in this year’s show. We had a record number of people through the door and the show felt busier than ever. There was truly a great atmosphere and we sincerely hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
