Howdy,
We will be down on Thursday and staying at the Travellodge.
Has some one worked out a badge or a lanyard for AusBonsai so we can identify each other?
Who can design a "wantabe tree" badge or label?
See you there,
Bruce.

Perhaps with the pemission of AABC and AusBonsai we could make available a sheet of little stickers on the registration table

This would promote the site as well

Hi Skip, Yes I am comng down to Bankstown for the AABC. Will arrive Friday at domestic terminal 11.50am on Quantas flight QF517 with 2 other delegates but have no idea how long it will take to get to Bankstown." Are you running a taxi service?" Staying at the Travelodge until Wednesday morning, looking forward to catching up with you over the weekend. The swamp cypress is in recovery mode, I have had to re-style and believe it or not, treat it for root rot! Have you ever heard of such a thing. You now know who Dark1 is. See you next month at Bankstown, looking for things to do after the convention, nurserys, etc. Dark1

Gazza; This is it!!! A one time a year phenomenon! When anyone who is anyone and anyone is no one, of Australian bonsai get together in one place! Some CAT from over seas comes over and teaches us a thing or two and even a couple of local CATS get up there and show us how its done! A huge exhibition of Australian bonsai and not to mention the best sales area for bonsai ever, where you can drop squillions in a moment of madness!

Yes i think you should go!

But ya better hurry up!!! You can find what ever you need here... http://www.illawarrabonsaisociety.org/a ... ntion.html

Gazza - make sure you introduce yourself - dont sit on the outer mate.

If anyone is looking for accomodation, I booked an executive suite at "Breakfree" on Chappel st (not far from the convention - 5-10mins) and paid the deposit.
The remainder is $250 if someone wants it. I would be willing to swap for a cold beer!

Cheers,
Leigh.
