Following the recent death of the former chair of the societies, Judith Davison, a sale of her trees and other bonsai paraphernalia was held at the MBS meeting on 5th November, but which was attended by members of both societies.
The auction attracted a good crowd and we had bids in the room, on the book and on the telephone – quite professional we thought! All the trees and virtually everything else was sold, much to your two committees’ delight and satisfaction. The cash raised will be divided between the family on the one hand and the 2 societies on the other, the final figure to be advertised in the next Newsletter.
