Long Day

It’s been a long day at our club exhibition. Met some great people, caught up with some old friends and spent time with a great bunch of chaps, even those who give me abuse about blogging! 🙂

It was a wet day but by mid afternoon we had a pretty good crowd moving through the marquee. Some other other interesting events taking place too. This was my first time watching a Pig Race!

Some great looking Beagles

The pig race, Makin Bacon won!

The gardens

The gold star of the day goes to John who stood out in the rain under a tree passing out cards and getting folk to venture into the marquee to see the trees. A bit of a grim reaper 🙂

Brendan posing

and I have absolutely no idea what these two plonkers are doing!!

Tight Squeeze!

Managed to transport a few trees to the Club exhibition tonight.

All ready for tomorrow.

Hoping to post live from the show tomorrow via mobile, I can only hope that the rain has run out by then!!

Club Activity

I spent last night setting up the stands for our clubs forthcoming exhibition this weekend.

Stands had to be collected from storage.

and then unloaded again at the other end.

Some who always complain about my camera time, were hard to find when the unloading was taking place. That fake call App on his phone worked a treat 😛 🙂

Building the stands, starting to take shape.

I dread to think what’s going on here

Cloth makes a big difference

Ready for the bonsai later in the week.

Today’s offering from Sandor Papp’s Bonsai Blog is a selection of photo from the recent EBA Exhibition, a very good standard.

35th Anniversary Flemish Bonsai Association Part 3

The final instalment of harry’s photos, these are from the Marc Noelanders Demonstration. The big Chamaecyparis isn’t the easiest looking demo tree but what Marc gets from it it truly amazing. I remember watching Marc demonstrate back in 1999 at the EBA in Birmingham with similar material. He really does have a knack for getting the best out of a piece of raw material.
