After a long wait the day finally arrived for our third show.
Is was a windy day but it stayed dry. There was a steady stream of visitors from 11am.
We has three traders this year, and four displays, Warminster, Taunton, Staverton and ourselves.
Outside the demonstrations were by Trevor Banbury with Tony Nathan and Robin also working on several trees.
The Best Society award was judged by Chris Thomas who said that it was a very difficult choice.
The award went to Warminster Bonsai Club.
The Best in show award was voted by the public and it was close, with Ade Taylor's White Beech group, close second was a Hawthorn on the Warminster display. Ade also won the Best BVBG member tree.
The Novice award new for this show was won by Mike Bryan with a nice little Black Pine.
The refreshments were well received, and the fish and chips also excellent.
Roll on next year.

On the 10th April eleven members attended the pottery workshop after a wait of almost two years. It was a cold start but it soon warmed up. After lunch Dan demonstrated the wheel and some members had a try at making a pot on it.
It was an excellent day and worth the wait
