Away on Holiday

I will be away from this Friday for a couple of weeks then straight onto The Best of British Show in Birmingham on Aprill 11th & 12th. So I will do Website & Quote of the Month for April now.

Aprils website of the month is the website of talented Dutch Bonsai Artist Carlos van der Vaart. I met Carlos at Noelanders and he is a talented guy with excellent collected material. Check out his sight http://carlosvandervaart.com/

I will not be at the next Club Meeting so I am sure you will all have a good time with Nick Pearce.

Regards
Andy

Lee V's Saturday Workshop

Whilst Simon and I were enjoying Northern hospitality the rest of the gang were at Lee Verhorevoort's doing a workshop on their trees. Looks like you had a ball guy's and gal's

Simons Display at BSA Show 2009

For those that did not have the pleasure of seeing Simon's display at the last club meeting, here is a picture that should inspire and encourage you to show your trees. The picture also shows the standard that is required for an open show.

Well done Simon!

Last Club Meeting Workshop

Here are a few pictures of last night open workshop. Repotting was the order of the day with a bit of wiring thrown in for good measure

What a happy bunch ;-)
