AusBonsai

It has been a long time since the last VNBC Show in 2018 although some members were able to show trees at the 2019 AABC Convention.
This year a new venue, Preston Town Hall
A new format, Friday evening and Saturday all day.
I hope you can make it.

Great news. I wonder if a bloke from NSW can sneak in?

Border check stations were dismantled earlier this week so pretty much anyone can now come through except those from Cumberland Shire who still need permits to be south of the border.
Vic native do a great show. Plenty of great native bonsai in a wide range of sizes, styles and species. Definitely worth the trip for those interested in Aussie native bonsai.

Always a pleasure to see you Watto, and we are open again after 5 days of enforced bonsai.

So looking forward to this show. Always a special one and the new venue in Preston Town Hall will be great

I am so happy that I went to this show this morning. Great trees and wonderful people. Fine folk like Quentin, Marcela and Barry - more than happy to have a chat; so friendly and very generous with their time.

I would be a member of the VNBC in a heartbeat if I was remotely close to the club.... indeed, before lockdown - I think I filled out membership but didn't act on it... I must get back to that... even if to access knowledge base on their website.

Here are some photos... and the last two - while not show worthy - left the sale's bench and leapt into my car... One Quentin's and the last photo is Marcela's .... both in lovely Australian made pots too. Thanks VNBC for putting on your show.

Cheers,

Mark

Remote members can watch the meetings on Zoom now Mark, and the videos of meetings are uploaded for members only viewing as well. It's definitely worth the membership even if you can't get there!

Thanks for the photos!

Thanks for sharing photos of the trees Mark. Appreciate it mate.

I'm a member of the club even though I'm in Canberra. They have a wonderful newsletter and i enjoy watching the videos they post

Hi MelB and Keels,

Happy to post the photos - I am sure there will be better quality ones from others in due course.

Good to be reminded about the Zoom and video links ... but... as a Melbournian who spent 5-7 hrs a day 2020 in lockdown and on zoom and still 60% of my work week on Teams or Zoom ... I nearly had an allergic reaction to more zoom for bonsai .... that’s said, I’m not complaining ... working via video is certainly better than not working at all and my thoughts go out to all those still managing the disruption of the pandemic.
And again, fantastic to visit the show today.

Good looking trees, thanks for posting the pics MJ. That first one is a real beast! Shame about the pot though.

Thanks for the pic Mark, always love viewing these native shows from afar.

Magnificent trees! Congratulations on another great achievement.
Interesting pots too!

Thanks

Good stuff David. I did notice you wondering around and I am surprised how good that little microphone is... you were whispering so quietly and yet it came out so clearly. very clever and well done getting all the lovely trees. I smiled when I saw a glimpse of my step-dad in his beret in the sales areas and there’s some sneaky red shoes walking past right at the end.
