13May23 Sat
Accrington & District Bonsai Society Display
Nursery End Garden Centre, Harrington Street, Clayton-Le-Moors, Accrington. BB5 4DF.
The show consisted of over 30 individual trees, showing various styles on many different types of tree.
Centre place was the beautiful Maple, which our friend and former chairman Ray Couldwell had shown and won the inaugural ‘Pauline Smith Cup’, which was in memory of our previous secretary. There was a public vote at our last show at Barton Grange Garden Centre, Preston, with nearly 300 overall votes cast.
There were 9 members at Nursery End (Ray C, Gary, Paul, Mike, Peter, Chris, Ray G, John R, Diane) who put on this show, setting up the tables, tablecloth’s, display signs, leaflets and of course the trees, as well as disassembling at the end of the extremely hot day. Also they assisted the public, by answering any questions put forward by them as they passed the display.
Many thanks to Chris and his family, for helping to promote the show and arranging an area at their Garden Centre, and for providing everything for cuppas. Cakes and ice lollies were supplied to all members during the day by Diane.
Please see below for a selection of photos from the show
