Sounds good to me Shannon !!! I'm coming over with Gabriel. Just gotta change the flights for earlier now, Peter has offered to pick us up at the airport. Finally get to have a drink with me old mate pete!

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

Yes Will i'm lookn forward to meeting you all too. Now i haven't seen Aaron around here for a while. Is he coming up to Sydney? Azza???

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

Thanks Antall63 and Jamo.. I will go for sure then.. Jamo i will send you an email tomorrow and get on board.. Can't wait to attend my first Bonsai Convention.

Cheers

I'll be heading up on Fri... Anyone from Vic want a lift with me and a massive Juniper?? I reckon I'll drive as far as Goulburn on Fri, stay somewhere there the night then drive the last two hrs on Sat Morn...

I will be there with bells on, I have never been to a bonsai exhibition before so I am looking forward to it.

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.
