The most active bonsai forum in the world is the German 'Bonsai Fachfourum'. It is independend of any other organization. As in all other forums lots of people write and read who have never met in perosn. So BFF decided tho have a meeting of forum particpant - a big bosnai party! It happened this past weekend near Lipstadt, which si a town in the north of Germayn. I had a six and half hour drive to get there.

Here a few images of the general scene on an an old rural estate which is refurbisehd as restaurant and event place.
