November 4th 2002, Melbourne Cup Eve

An AUCTION of Bonsai Goodies

Members brought Bonsai related goods along for sale. Some items had reserve prices.

Considering it was the eve of a BIG event in Melbourne, we had a good crowd.

Plenty for everyone to buy

Not quite the right stand, but it's hard to carry cascades in your vehicle. This solved the problem.
