A massive thank you to everyone who is involved in making the Swindon Winter Image Show what it is today. We appreciate the support of the bonsai community year on year in addition to our own club members who work behind the scenes to make it all happen and run smoothly on the day.

We had the following clubs and societies visiting our show this year, and congratulations to all those who came and supported us and the show, it was a fun day with lots of great bonsai conversations. It was also the first year that Twickenham Bonsai Club has joined us with their club display.

Our own club members put on some fabulous displays and it was great to see many showing their trees that they have developed over many years.

This year we had another great Winter Image show with lots of awesome traders selling some fabulous bonsai supplies again. We are grateful for all their support and the list of traders included:

At Swindon Bonsai Club’s upcoming Winter Show on the 16th of February 2025, we have enlisted Alex Rudd to talk on his favourite subject, bonsai ceramics. This mini-event will be held in the dance studio. There will be two sessions, so everyone will have a couple of opportunities to engross themselves in the afternoon.

This year we had a bespoke video presentation at our winter show, a collaboration between the UK Bonsai Association, the Japanese Embassy and Mr Ryuichi Kitadani.
