A couple of years ago I requested ideas from the list to improve the
attendance at our Clubs annual show.

SNIP

We've already sorted out two bonsai traders to accompany our display, so
we really hope to generate some interest. We are gong to have a display
of our very best trees and information about the club in the form of
posters and fliers.

If anyone has suggestions that might further enhance our efforts, I'd be
glad to hear them.

Kevin ,

surely someone will suggest to do demos on bonsai styling during the exhibit .
I suggest something different ideas about it : from two years in our annual
meeting
and exhibit we do a discussion called " Looking closely at bonsai" where we
open
a debate with our guests and members about some bonsai showed in the
exhibit and
preparing general questions previously , questions who can surely stimulate
the interest
of people even non bonsai enthusiasts . If you want ,I can send you the
questions we had
last September . Another way is to do slides show on bonsai with comments
for people
on Japanese or Chinese trees masters .
Hope this helps ,

marco
