Surrey Heath Bonsai Society Display At Surrey Heath Show
Frimley Lodge Park, Sturt Road, Frimley Green, Surrey. GU16 6HY
Surrey Heath Bonsai Society have displayed bonsai at this show for many years, previously the display has been in a large marquee with other societies, but this year due to absence of a main show marquee we had to make other arrangements. This was however to the benefit of the bonsai display, usually in the large show marquee we found ourselves sometimes in previous years squeezed into a corner with a lack of space, now we found ourselves in a dedicated tent, solely bonsai with lots of room. The new 4x8m gala tent housed an eight table display, four tables wide and two tables deep, with the back four raised 30cm, covered and backed in black cloth, this presented the trees well. Trees were supplied by many members, who also manned the display all day answering questions from the general public. Sometimes people question the effort required on putting such displays on at such events, but these events when well attended are fantastic publicity for the club and bonsai in general.
The weather was perfect, and the bonsai tent was mobbed with people most of the day, please see the photos.
