Thank you for that Leigh some very nice trees, and some nice people!! Looks like every one had a ball. Now we have 12 months to get ours together.

Here in the West. At the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle, all are welcome remember lets all get together for the best.

Again thanks for the pics Leigh. Cheers :) Pup

Thanks everyone! I managed to get a seat in the front row - right under the demonstrator's noses.

Yes Mikey was the "entertainment" - just for the dinner.

There are a few pics of "ausbonsai" people from Melbourne, Sydney and QLD - there were ausbonsai people from all over Oz.

Pup - I will be at your gig in Freo with bells on! Have started planning already!

Brett - They had video cameras all over this one - I am pretty sure they will produce something! The DiNola/Nesci demo was very entertaining.
Cheers,
Leigh.

I hope everyone who attended had a great weekend, whether it was the convention or just the exhibition. I know I certainly did, and I have been enjoying the relaxation since getting home!

Thanks Leigh, great pics mate, you certainly did have a good spot down the front! Was great working with you and Grant on Sunday morning. Thanks for the opportunity.

Hey Jamo - Great job with the conference mate - the whole team did very well and should be congratulated. It was refreshing to see how many young people were there - I think Australian bonsai has a great future. It would be great to get a stack of youngsters at the next conference in Perth, if not, the one after that in 2012 (where ever it may be!).
Cheers,
Leigh.

Congratulations "Team Illawarra",
I am just home after the drive from Sydney, you guys put on a great show.
Special mentions for Skippy, Jamo and Grant.
It was wonderful to meet so many Ausbonsai people.....Leigh, Steven, Shannon,Watto, Leonarda, Webbos and so many others
I have new pots from Pat Kennedy and Penny, and lots of pots in my car belonging to others.
Special mention to Gabriel for his wonderful translations during the workshops.

A very tired
