Secretary

Hi to all bonsai and suiseki enthusiasts,

I am just reiterating what our secretary Jamie has already told you about our up and coming show THIS weekend, 29th & 30th August, from 10am to 4pm.
We have lots of members and bonsai friends who we would love to see this weekend. That doesn't exclude our many bonsai friends who live out of town - maybe you are in Sydney this coming weekend so come along and see us and meet up with old friends.
There is a $5 entry fee and that entitles each visitor to one FREE raffle ticket with a chance to win a Colin Lewis bonsai book and a ready made bonsai.
Come along and share the bonsai passion with us, enjoy a cuppa and a cupcake and maybe get inspired by our trees............and suiseki!!!

See you there,
Brenda
(President of Illawarra Bonsai Society and President of Suiseki Australia)

So, hands up who's going along to the Illawarra Bonsai Society show this weekend?
If anyone is able to take some pictures to share with us please do so.
Regards,
Steven

Hi all,

Thank you for all of our bonsai friends who came along to our show at the weekend. It was great to see everyone and to share our passion. We are in the process of getting together some photographs and we will post them on here as soon as we can. Again, it was great to catch up with everyone and that what it is all about, do you agree?

Kindest regards,
Brenda (President)

Hi again,

One thing that I forgot to tell you all, that at our show the lucky door prize of a stand, saikei and a Colin Lewis book was won by a 9 year girl who is absolutely over the moon with her good fortune. A future bonsai artist in the making, I hope so!

Cheers,
Brenda

Some photos from the show for everyone to enjoy.

Sensational display

And a few more. Enjoy.
