Here goes the start of a thread about this weekends show, please add other pictures too as I was quite busy.

Background:
An annual bonsai show held in Exmouth Pavillion, organised by the Exeter Society but the trees come from across the entire South West of England, and even further afield. The show is very well supported by some of the clubs and traders from the region and is becoming a really good social event on the calender.

Fantastic pine display from the Celtic knot crew

Each year there is a talent styling competition - This year I did a pre competition demo before the competitors got going

A chinese Elm that was a late choice to bring along, and I've agreed to sell the pot to an Exeter member as he has been looking for ages for one like it !
