XV Bonsai and Suiseki Exhibition of the San Marino Coordination Emilia-Romagna

November 24th and 25th 2012
 
XV Bonsai and Suiseki  Exhibition 
of the San Marino Coordination Emilia-Romagna



   
 Report by Mr. Carlo Laghi
   


The annual appointment of the C.E.R.S.M., initially expected in September  in Ferrara , on account of the earthquake, has shifted to the end of November  organized by the Romagna Bonsai Club in Rimini.

The postponement has allowed to the visitors to observe the plants, and in particular the deciduous ones, in their winter  appearance : the missing of leaves , inevitably has laid bare and in evidence the smallest defect.


   
         
 

Eight Bonsai Clubs  and two Bonsai Schools there were present  for a total of 39 plants  and 27 stones  (the home Club has furthermore showed 16 bonsai and suiseki of members). The Clubs were allowed to present in contest 4 plants and 2 stones  each one : we of the Forlì Club , having especially lovers of stones , we have applied the primaries  and  for the stones those of Mr. Claudio Villa and Mr. Primangelo Pondini have participated to the contest.

 
  IThe work has allowed me to participate , and to attend only on Sunday.  As soon as arrived I have seen the stones , the plats, the fittings ,the working and lectures spaces, the secretary office:  we are speaking of the hall placed at the first floor in the building of the Arengo which looks on Cavour square right in the historical centre; an hall of high capacity  38 mts. long  and 14,50 mts. wide.

For the occasion tables for 90 linear mts. have been arranged, but further 10 linear mts. were available : do you imagine  an hall containing 100 exhibition places full of stones in a future AIAS Congress ??

The  regional Coordination  is reserved to the Clubs and to  their  members of the region and I  could never  have  expected to meet the AIAS member Mrs. Laura Monni , roman citizen here in Rimini. I had promised to the AIAS member Mr. Remo Cavalli, organizer of the event, that I should have attended to a lecture  and I would have talked about my experiences in the suiseki field and that I have done.

  At the end of the lecture I and the other members have met and talked with Mr. Hong and his daughter Miyuen  (Korean living in Milan who had already visited us at the 2011 Bonsai World in Gonzaga).

They had brought 7 stones  of which , in my opinion, 4 or 5 outstanding ones , and in the afternoon we have discussed of these stones  for a couple of hours.

They  will be revisiting Bonsai World 2013 in Gonzaga.

AIAS has granted the patronage  to this event  because the Romagna Bonsai Club  is duly entered with the Association; the attendance of board members and old members has allowed to assign  the plate put at disposal  : for not facing discussions, it has been decided to exclude the stones, even superior , of AIAS members  and the plate has been presented  to the landscape stone of Mr. Valerio Perdonà.
 
The AIAS members, Mr. Remo Cavalli and Mr. Claudio Villa, deliver the AIAS plate to Mrs. Perdonà.       The stone winning the AIAS Plate.
