Please NOTE our first monthly meeting for the year will be Thursday 8 February starting at 7pm.
This will be held at the normal venue at Wintec, Hamilton Gardens.

For those of you who are new to the club say the last 2 years I would like you to bring with you a Bonsai to show to the club. For those of you who attended beginner Bonsai Classes could you bring the tree you did at the classes. You can bring a second tree if you wish. Those of you who are new to the club but did not attend the beginner Bonsai Classes please bring a bonsai that you would like to show to the club or alternatively bring a bonsai for which you would like advice.
For those of you that have been in the club for more than two years would you please bring along a tree or trees that you have developed with Tony Bebb, Nobu, Kathy Steyn or any of the other overseas demonstrators that have visited our club. Bring more than one tree if applicable. If you have any photographs of before and after development that would be fantastic.
If at all possible I would like all members attending this meeting to bring at least one Bonsai to show and talk about.

The purpose of the meeting is to look at Bonsai that have been developed in the past at previous workshops the club has held which will lead us into thinking about trees that would be suitable for the up and coming workshops this year. We have four international Bonsai Artists visiting this year and it is important we start thinking about raw material to bring for these workshops.

It would also be desirable if some members could bring trees that would be okay as raw material for any of the workshops this year. If too large to bring may be you have a photograph you could show. We will have a discussion on what would be suitable for raw material at one of these workshops.

As a footnote as the first meeting will be devoted to show and tell we will have no separate session at the start of the meeting on show and tell.
