Dragon Bonsai at the Welsh Game Fair 2011

Just got back after setting up at the show for this weekend.
This is the members show for the year and any member can show a tree the only thing that we ask is that the pot is clean and dressed .
Here are some shot to be going on with I will take more tonight at the barbeque and tommorw

Hi Chris
Looking good,hope the weather will be better for you than last week! Regards to Jerry and the rest of the boys.
Have a good Show
Bob :

I don't think it is a black tie thing, Billy.
I believe Chris is referring to the fact that the soil surface is weed free certainly, possibly dressed with mosses or grit.

Thank you Pabling , Thank you Bob

Hi Billy, I am now indebted to you for this image of a tree in formal dress. Great to hear from you and thank you Dave for the explanation .

Regards Chris

Another image to us Southern Rednecks is a deer gutted and skinned.
And with the title "Game Fair" as in wild game, this image is more appropriate.
I do enjoy the differences in our language.

Dear Dragonboyzzzzzzzzzz

We were very lucky to have Malcolm Driffield from Wessex bonsai society to judge the show and present the prizes

ChrisBray won the best conifer, and Gerwyn Renolds took the cup for the best broard leaf

It was a very wet weekend which makes it difficult on a field site

But still the crowds came

Wet is a bit of an understatement. Cracking weekend though.

A new pine project of mine,

John, Bob and John look for options, alas there was no time to work on it today. And thats Colin in there aswell

Hi Morea, lovely to hear from you and yes that is one of your stunning pots

Regards Chris

Hi Daf, Wet Wet Wet! sorry that's another thread running at the moment!

Thanks for all your help and support this weekend

Regards Chris

As expected, a wonderful display of top notch trees from the Welsh lads. Some excellent work coming out of the valleys, and no mistake!

Well done indeed. You lads keep giving me something to aim at.

Take that as you will
