Hi Friends I'd like to share with you our Vale of Clwyd Bonsai Society Show.

MORE AND MORE!!!

It was back across the Country Border to North Wales to The Vale of Clwyd Bonsai Society and for me it was just as wonderful as it was on Day 1 and I enjoyed it more the second time round with the added bonus of a Small Workshop with members working on a Pine belonging to Bren and as one member said " it must be the most talk about Pine during the 2 days of the display " On Day 1 the tree was discussed in length and Finally Bren gave the go-ahead to work on his tree on Day 2

It was also good to see some members from Wirral Bonsai Society Brian, Ian W,The 2 Dave's, Ken and Mark but I would have liked to have seen more members as no matter what, All Bonsai Societies and Clubs needs support from Each other. if at all possible

It was good to get the VoCBS group together on the day to stand in front on the Large Tree Display stand



Many of these great and wonderful gentleman some of you will either know by name or by their image unfortunately not everyone was present when the group image was taken but I would like to thank Ken, Kev, Mark, Othelia, Steff, Dave Y, Dave B, Bren, Andy, Matt, Bryan, John, Brian and Nick,and also the ones I have missed out for allowing me the opportunity to be present and I sincerely hope by showing what happened over the 2 Days of Bonsai Display many of you will know and respect the amount of work that everyone puts into put on a Show Display to keep the Bonsai World thriving here in North Wales,. for me I would like to thank Bryan and Kev B for allowing me to show some of my images of what happened at the VoCBS Display Show

So here goes with images I hope you all enjoy and leave as many comments good or bad as you wish and show support to ALL Bonsai Societies and Clubs no matter where they are There were 21 Bonsai Trees that were on Display were these are just a few = Chinees Elms = Juniperue Itoi Gawa = Acer Katsura = Crytomeria Jap Banddai Sigi = Buxus = Larix = Potenilla = Cotoeaster Pyrcantha and many more forgive me for any mistakes in the naming of the tree and a great thanks to NICK for the list of all the trees
