JULY 2000 - Our first Auction - A great night!

The committee decided that members could benefit from an 'inside' auction. That is, an auction for members, by members, of any unwanted bonsai goodies in their collection. Fifty items ranging from trees, stock, pots, books and magazines. Tools and Suiseki were put under the hammer also.

President Brad was our Auctioneer for the night. Here with a very nice Juniper.
Over 50 people turned out for the auction of the year. Over $2000 was spent by members!

The president was hopeful that this Suiseki and stand might have been his, but unfortunately....
