Bonsai Northwest held its Autumn show on the 7th and 8th of May. It was held at a new venue, The Yarraville Club, which was a huge improvement to previous years. The Exhibition looked amazing on the main floor and the Sales area was much larger than previous years. It was an outstanding success with over 100 people queued up before the doors opened at 10am on Saturday morning. Enjoy the photos.
The Exhibition area of the Yarraville Club. The Sales area. The Sales area quickly filled up with items for sale. Benches full of pots, wire and tools were setup. Good range of pots at very low prices. Lots of stock for sale. The main display area starting to take shape. More trees arrived for the sales area. Lovely Chinese elm for sale. Almost finished in the main exhibition area. Close up of more trees for sale. The majority of these trees came from BonsaiFlora (ph.0423 027 963). The demostration area setup and ready to go.

The middle of the queue. The end of the queue but still growing. A large crowd at the first demonstration conducted by Barry. People wandering around the exhibit. A second demonstration conducted by Steve saw another big crowd. The Sales area quietened down after the huge morning rush. Sorry I have no photo of the huge crowd in the first 2 hours. It was too busy to pull the camera out. Many purchases were made but still had lots of trees left. Channel 31 came down and video taped the show. Vasilis here with Barry. Barry and Shane tidy up the demonstration area for the next session. More stock for sale comes in. Regular demos were enjoyed by the people. David N conducts the demonstration on Sunday afternoon. Some of the people at the demonstration on Sunday. And some more people. View from the stage area. Another view from the stage area. View from the stage area. End of the show cleaning up.
