The 10th CERSM exhibition : report by Mr. Carlo Laghi

10th Review of the Coordination Emilia Romagna - San Marino
(CERSM)

Report by Mr. Carlo Laghi

 

During the week-end on September 8th-9th 2007 in Cesena, in the pavilions of the Fair, to coincide with Turtle Beach Exhibition, has taken place the annual CERSM exhibition.

 

11 Clubs were present with 40 stones and 67 bonsai. There was a great crowd of public already from Saturday 8th.

Mrs. Luciana Queirolo, A.I.A.S. President, judged the stones.

Let me " bring grist to  my own mill".

The Forlì Bonsai and Suiseki Club, organizer of the exhibit, has  taken the lion's share both with  the Aias members and with the non-Aias  members.  Mr. Claudio Villa was absent (because  he was the main organizer together with his wife Irene) and the reserves were Mr. P.Pondini, Mr. E.Gardini, Mr. A.Valdifiori, Mr. C. Laghi (jointly with Mr. U.Maccaferri of the " Club ABC del Bonsai" of Castelfranco Emilia) all Aias members, and with the non-Aias members of Forlì  (I hope for a short time) Mr. L.Ghetti and Mr. L.Elespini to keep high the name of the Romagnoli.

This rusult was achieved by the Forlì Club thanks to the persevering research not only of stones  (very important), but also and mainly  for the presentation, of the suitable accessories as regards shapes and dimensions, of the preparing/manufacturing already the daiza , comparing and helping each other during the evenings to the Club.

All this is nothing but the spirit which the Aias has transmitted to us in these last 3-4 years. Just for this I would like to invite all readers/visitors of the Aias web site , lovers of this art, to enlarge one's own  knowledgesand why not to join the Aias. As regards the stones' pictures it has to be pointed out that some enthusiasts have not clear my remarks and partially or totally limit themselves only to exhibit  the stone "on resting", so penalizing also valid stones.

My critics want to be only constructive ones.

A thanks to Luciana who after the judgements has explained the merits and default as well as the improvements in the exhibit of the stones.
