I am looking forward to attending the Annual Goulburn Bonsai Show this year. I never thought I would
get excited about trees but the trees displayed are so inspiring. The demonstrations are a great help to
anyone who is new to Bonsai. The more experienced members of our club have taught me so much.
Some infomation your cannot grasp by just reading books. If you want an exciting bonsai weekend
come to Goulburn this weekend. Sandra

There are always problem customers Mick, its how you handle them that makes the difference. Bonsai is a perfect post problem customer remedy.

I agree with Deadwood, after a rough day there is nothing more soothing than a visit to the bonsai.
PS - nice map I saw there earlier!!!!

Watto,

I liked the show,

I noticed a lack of natives. Would your club be interested in a couple of my natives for display only next year.

My wife and I visited the Goulburn Exhibition on Sunday 3 October for the first time and we were very impressed with the Bonsai specimens on display. The display was great and we both agreed how hard it would have been to judge the display.

We were also very impressed with the friendly attitude of the Society members present on Sunday, they all treated us as though we were Society members instead of total strangers.

Congratulations on a great display.
