Hi One and All
On the 3rd of March 2013 we had the privilege
and pleasure of Mr Steven Tolley in our midst, the Gentleman who set-up Four Dimensional Art and Established the Steve
Tolley Bonsai School in with the aim of helping to
raise the standards of UK
Bonsai
Once again to have Steve
at one of our Sunday workshops was music to the ears of all the members who
were present on the the day and they were,in No Particular order Sean, Bill G,
Ian W, Dena, Ron, Andy H, Rod, Dave, Doug, Eddie, Tom and Simon Plus a Large
variety of Bonsai Trees in all Shapes and Sizes and was held at the Gordales
Garden Centre The UK Garden Retailer of
the Year 2012 after written statements and mystery shopper visits had been
shortlisted to one of four centres. Gordale was delighted to be awarded Gold
Medal, which was presented by Terry and sponsors of the award, Stax. as taken
from
On with the workshop Mr Tolley wasted no-time in
getting his sleeves rolled up when he arrived and was soon going round the
workshop tables starting with Dave and his European Larch and soon we seen the
Master Tolster in action giving Constructive Advice and his Professional
Opinion will all the Enthusiasm that only someone with his Knowledge,Know-how
and Experience could deliver and it was a joy and pleasure to watch and be
there seeing him in Action
Another quality that stood out was Steve's
relentless energy going from tree to tree member to member going back and forth
checking making sure everyone knew what he was on about and if was ask a
Question he listened explained and showed at times how to go about the task in
hand
Sadly to say I had to leave the workshop early
due to Family reasons and was unable to stay till the end of the Workshop
and I am sure that everyone who was there would like to thank Godales Garden
Centre for allowing W-B-S to hold another Sunday Workshop there and a thousand
thanks to Rob for all his help organising the Workshop tables
Until the next time
Take care look after each other and all your
Bonsai Trees
