I will definately be at Bonsai By The Harbour - I wont be trading at Bonsai By The Harbour.......I will just happen to have some trees in the van that people may pick up from outside the venue. Just wanted to make that clear to avoid any confusion.
Cheers,
Leigh.

Just a question about the weekend.
Can you just rock up and pay at the door or is it only exclusive to those that booked before the 4th.

Alan or anyone else who hasn't registered for Bonsai by the Harbour and would still like to come to this great event: If you still wish to come send me a PM detailing if you want to come one or both days and you can pay at the door. The necessity for registering is for catering purposes.

Hope to see many at Bonsai By The Harbour - I am heading off tomorrow to make my way up there. I will be doing critiques for those who bring a tree along, and I will also have a short (1 hour) demo that I will be doing a restyle of a shimpaku juniper. I was hoping to take "before" pics and post them before I left, but I have run out of time. I will have to post a pictorial of all events (including my demo) when I get back.

See you there!
Cheers,
Leigh.
