Congratulations Alan McManus, one of our members, who for the first time in living memory managed to win the Craig Wallace Award at Belfast Parks Autumn Fair. His Hinoki Cypress having won best in Show within the bonsai classes was put forward for the best exhibit in the whole horticultural show and won! Pictured above is Alan receiving his award from Brian McKinley from Belfast Parks.

Well done Alan, a feat unlikely to repeated anytime soon.
