Lots of photos and many more to come, I will explain as the thread unfolds

Many thanks to everyone involved in an epic BURRS

Regards Chris

As usual Chris, you take the trophy for being the first to post pics from the weekend! And what a cracker it was, eh?

Many thanks to you and the Welsh Wizards for your time, generosity, help, advice, humour, patience, friendship and, most importantly, tool hire!

Just a friendly warning though, I was serious about coming down to visit.

You are welcome any time Steve

Regards Chris

Is it just me or does Andy look like he's saying "What's that, boyo, you dare me to whip this tablecloth out without moving the tree?"

What a fantastic weekend it was..It was really nice meeting Steve, Chris Thomas, Jerry, Bob and everyone after a long time.
a BIG thank you to Pavel for transforming my Taxus. Working with Pavel was a dream come true.
It was a pleasure meeting with Peter Landerloos and and Morea for the first time.
I'm already looking forward to next BURRS.

Thanks, Tony and everyone else for making it a great weekend.

Regards,

Faisal

Hi Chris,
good to see you guy's having such a great time! Some great looking trees were made again. Well don everybody and show us more pictures!
Cheers,
Hans van Meer.

Fantastic Weekend! It was a pleasure seeing old friends and I had such a great time. Mario and Pavel were amazing and it was a pleasure to meet them and watch them weave their magic on the trees.

What a great weekend.
But we are missing something very important, none of this would work without the huge effort from one fine man.

Bob Brunt we salute you.


In fact Tony and his whole team are giving those attending a clear view of what british bonsai could and in my view should look like.
Thank you all.

A few pictures of Andrew and his fine larch raft.

Burrs has intensely consumed the last seven days so today I am playing catch up with the rest of my life... reading emails... returning equipment/tables etc. I will post here later and a few photos too!

Mario, Terry and Pavel inspired, advised and worked solidly for two days... the outcome of the weekend for me was "bonsai is nothing without good horticulture technique and application, styling is only one small part of the journey, not the journey in itself"

I believe there may be a photo of me somewhere working too!

And it is true Bob Brunts Bacon Breakfast Bar was a sensation <<< (represents Bacon) Thanks Bob, Steve, Matt, Peter and all the helpers too. Carolyn and I could not have done it without you.

Hi TONY,
I do have one of you Tony. You were watching Mario wire and style your juniper for an hour or so..........



How did it end up?
I couldn't wait as I had some wiring to do myself.

Jerry, if folk where to post photos of me standing around appearing to do nothing there would be hundreds... put up a movie... then the real me would feature

Great photo of Simon asleep in a funny position... who has the other I wonder?

I am in posession of a bona fide, un-photoshopped picture of Tony actually working on his own tree at Burrs! No, honestly. I kid you not. I even had it checked by an expert, just to make sure it wasn't a smudge on the lens or a freak digital double exposure. I just need to work out how to get it out of the camera onto the pc.

As for Andrew's 'fine Larch raft', I beg to differ. It's a damn fine Larch raft. And I hate him.
(Only kidding Andrew, old buddy, mate, pal Don't forget to let me know if you find something suitable!!)

Hi! All!

I see some colour has been added to Burrs (wall), makes you guy's look younger!!!

I couldn't be there had other obligations,.....once been there the weekend seems to pass slower not being there,....
Ah yea,...something to wish for......Nice trees loads of fun and what a raft!

grtz Machiel who was stacking up boxes so she can move,....yes yes yes!

Worth a fortune on ebay

Hi Guys,
Looks like you had a whale of a time. Morea & Peter, I'm sorry I missed you after the fun we had at Noelanders earlier this year.
Loving the trees on show and good to hear that you got Tony working!!!
Still a bit hacked off that I missed it but maybe next year (if you'll have me )

Love, Peace & Bananas,
Simon

Sorry Andy but here is a better photo of all those that attended... includes YOU! All 31 one of us!

beautiful people and beautiful plants!
Congratulations!
