December 2004 AGM

December 2004 AGM

The Annual General Meeting for Bonsai Northwest Inc was held on December 6th followed by a delicious supper. All committee positions were made vacant and election of office bearers was then made. Awards were also handed out on the night to unsuspecting members. This was followed by a few experienced members discussing some of their trees. Plenty of photos of the night below.

Have a great Christmas and safe new year to all members and friends of Bonsai Northwest.
