A number of lucky winners were present at the event when the draw took place and were able to accept their prizes.
There were however,, a number of winners not present.

In order that those who were successful with the draw can check their raffle ticket numbers against the unclaimed prizes,
a list of all those prizes is published here on the website. Those prizes highlighted in yellow are the ones already claimed.
Should you find you have a winning number, then you need to let us know by either phoning us on 0121 378 4837 or e-mailing us on britishbonsai09@yahoo.com

As a number of these prizes are not easily sent in the post, they can be claimed by either:

a) arranging to collect them directly from us;

b) we will be at the ABBA Symposium being held in Bristol on Sunday, 26^th April.
If you or someone you know is able to attend, then inform us and we will bring the prizes to that event to be collected;

c) we can arrange for your prizes to be with either Reg Bolton (in Swindon ) after the 30^th April or with
Ken Leaver at his bonsai nursery in June so that winners near those localities can collect them from either place;

d) alternatively, if none of the above arrangements are convenient, please contact us and we will
look to alternative arrangements to get your prize to you.

May we also take this opportunity of thanking all who supported the National Bonsai Collection by purchasing tickets. Your contribution is very much appreciated.
