2nd Heathrow Bonsai Show, 6th November 2011
The 2nd Heathrow Bonsai Show took place on Sunday 6th November 2011 at The Barn, High Street, Harlington, Middlesex. 1000-1600.hrsAfter last years success, and taking onboard comments from exhibitors, we expanded the show outside into three tents.
Even though we had no sunshine, luckily the wind and rain stayed away, and in fact most peoples comments about the outside displays were favourable.
Last years show attracted 61 visitors, this years show attracted 269 visitors, a very good turn out, and infact enabling the show to financially break even.
