Flights Booked for BSA Exhibition

That’s my flights from Belfast booked for the 7th – 9th March for my trip over to the British Shohin Association’s Exhibition at Willowbog Bonsai.

I had planned to travel by boat with a few others and then realised that I had booked leave from work on the wrong weekend!! I was unable to add extra days around the actual weekend for travelling and have now opted to fly over to cut down on travel time. A big thank you to Peter Snart for assisting me with my travel alterations!!

So this means that I will be catching up with some old friends and meeting some new ones. I’m really looking forward to it, it’s shaping up to be an excellent exhibition. I have one tree for entry in the Deciduous Chuhin Class. I was able to sent it over with Peter last weekend, a bit hard to carry on the plane!

I’m looking forward to having a catch up with Peter Warren and John Armitage. I will also have the pleasure of meeting Valentin Brose for the first time. The programme for the weekend looks action packed as well.

So who’s going to this years Exhibition?

Bonsai Exhibition, Kannapolis, NC

For my North American friends, just in case you are passing! Yes, I know, it’s a big country, but over here in wee Northern Ireland, we are always just passing 😀

I have family living in North Carolina, one of these days I might get over for a visit and try and time it to clash with a local show 😉

Shuga Ten 2013

Juan Andrade, who is apprenticing at Aichien very kindly shared some photos taken at Shuga Ten on Facebook. I was blown away by some of the quality trees. I have shared a few of my favourites below but Juan tells me that John Milton will be sharing them all on his blog soon, so keep an eye open for this.
