Lorca (Spain), 6/8 March 2009 XXV EUROPEAN BONSAI & SUISEKI CONVENTION

Suiseki Exhibition |
|||||
Suiseki (or viewing stones, up to you) were exhibited in a separate room with about 65 linear meters, divided in two sections: E.S.A. exhibition (for registered E.S.A. members) and Open exhibition (for other stone-lovers) with 40 and |

The effect on the general public and many bonsai people was striking: many people realized then and there the reasons of our illness and wondered they were only rocks picked from the wild; I must also admit that it was hard trying to explain the principles of our art, but we did our best. Many attendants also wondered about the similar level of two sections, as it could be expected Open exhibition be a ‘class B’. Let me unveil the trick: selection of stones of Spanish people was performed by myself and, as many of them presented stones for both sections, I deliberately tried to keep both sections as balanced as possible, in order to keep high the interest on the whole exhibition. |
|||||
Though I personally prefer not granting awards, it is to be realized that they encourage participation and, when unbiased, provide some hints on the characteristics looked for in our art. The organizers accepted the suggestion of granting three awards for every section and decided by live exhibitors (no delegated vote) ballot: every present exhibitor was given a separate sheet for every section, to note up to three stones in each (all stones were numbered). In the early Saturday evening, votes were counted and the prizes corresponded to: |
|||||
1º “Near mountain stone”,
2º “Village” (France), Mrs. Pilar Guillén (
3º “Horeb Rock”, Abegawa (
1º “Suseok”, (Korea), Mrs. Chiara Padrini (Italia)
2º “Suavidad
3º “Piedra isla”, Guipúzcoa (Spain), Mr. Miguel Pérez Caballero (Spain)
|
|||||
In addition, B.C.I. awards were given to “Near mountain stone”, of Mrs. Rosa Bonet, and “Piedra isla” , of Mr. Miguel Pérez Caballero, and an A.I.A.S. award was assigned to "Near mountain stone”, Catalonia (Spain), of Mrs. Rosa Bonet.. Furthermore, Mrs. Rosa Bonet received an special merit award for her contribution to spreading the knowledge of suiseki in |

Probably the most striking new was the retirement of Mr. Willi Benz as President, though he will continue as member of the Board and Chairman (a non-executive, but representative position); he proposed Mr. Igor Barta as new President and it was unanimously accepted.

The XIII U.B.I. Congress
Mr. Carlo Laghi relates about "Gonzaga 2009"
After the resolution and the green light of the A.I.A.S. Board in Alberobello 2008, I with other A.I.A.S. members have gathered on Saturday march 7th at 8.30 hrs. in the new pavilion of the Millenary Fair of Gonzaga together with friends of bonsai. |
|||||||
|
|||||||
There were present : Mr. Angelo Attinà, Mr. Cesare Fumagalli, Mr. Ettore Gardini, Mr. Carlo Laghi, Mr. Ulisse Maccaferri and Club ABC Bonsai, Mrs. Luciana Queirolo, Mr. Renzo Rabitti, Mr. Shozo Tanaka and Amatori Bresciani, Mr. Attilio Valdifiori, Mr. Claudio Villa, with their stones Mr. Luciano Ghetti and Mr. Primangelo Pondini (for a total of |
|||||||
|
The Gonzaga Bonsai Club (organizing Club) has prepared and put at disposal ample spaces : at the entrance a garden with a waterfall, near two tokonoma , and at the four corners as many sale points of farmers plants, pots an tools. On the background a table and so many chairs for the public, where the Bonsai Masters Mr. Giorgio Castagneri , Mr. Nicola Crivelli, and Mr. Fabrizio Buccini for stones.
|
||||||
The food and drinks sector, where the members of the Gonzaga Club have feeded us with typical meals dishes of Mantova washed down with a very good lambrusco wine, was not missing.
|
|||||||
A table was reserved to the stones of Mr. Buccini; finally the table where the Aias Secretariat was arranged: two logos at sides and a a computer with video 16/9 operating in Power Point and projecting a series of slides of gardens , of tokonoma and stones of the Aias members and others, with a background of Japanese music. Mrs. Luciana Queirolo has displayed her stones “The iced Land” and “The dragon’s rock” in two tokonomas.
|
|
||||||
|
I was saying about Bonsai Masters : Mr. Giorgio Castagneri (IBS) has worked a chinensis, while Mr. Nicola Crivelli assisted by Mr. Enzo Ferrari of the Ticino Bonsai Club ( our next landlord for the A.I.A.S. Congress 2009 in Lugano in September). |
||||||
All plants workshop’s passages have been told and explained by Mrs. Laura Redini (Organizers); Mr. Fabrizio Buccini instead , has dealt about stones and daiza.
|
|||||||
|
|||||||
Let’s us go now through food lunch breaks, in addition to the refreshments on opening ceremony, the lunch and the dinner on Saturday , the lunch on Sunday (all offered by the Gonzaga Bonsai Club) : with our legs under the table we were bonsai and suiseki lovers over 60 on Saturday and
more then 80 on Sunday.
After the meals bottles of various distillates have passed among the tables : in my opinion the most delicate and tonic resulted to be the “Ratafià” (distilled grappa with walnuts and various Spices) proposed by Mr. Enzo Ferrari from Ticino.
|
|
||||||
A worm thank in addition to Mrs. Laura Redini (President) to all members of the Gonzaga Club who have excellently given hospitality .
On delivery of the participation’s plaques to us and to the various Club present of the participations’ plaque Mrs. Laura who has renewed to us the invitation for the next year considering the results I really think we will not miss. Mr. Carlo Laghi
