SUMMARY:Club Meeting - AGM plus Buy and Sell
DESCRIPTION:Topic: AGM and Buy & Sell \nThe Bonsai Club AGM and Buy and Sell meeting will be held Sunday 12 July per usual  at the St. Francis Church Hall\, 92 Mansell Ave.\, Hillcrest. Starts 2:00 PM. If for any reason the upper carpark is full\, don’t forget there is another carpark in front of the Church\, just off the Morrinsville Road near the traffic circle. And I also remind you to remember the habit of bringing your own mug for coffee or tea\, which will taste better than in the styrofoam cups and create less trash! A reminder that the cups and mugs\, etc. that are in the kitchen belong to the Church and are off limits to us! \nThe AGM will be held first and shouldn’t take long. The Agenda and Financial report will be emailed prior to the meeting\, please read both. And if you have any queries about the financial report there will be an opportunity bring it up at the meeting. AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING TO THE  AGENDA\, PLEASE E-MAIL IT TO ME WELL BEFORE THE MEETING DATE. And PLEASE BRING BOTH WITH YOU TO THE AGM!!! \nAfter the AGM and Tea Break: Bring and Buy or Sell: \nIf you have any Bonsai related items you would like to sell or trade bring them along; trees\, cuttings\, books\, tools\,  pots etc.\,etc. Numerous tarp covered tables will be set up to use (come early and help\, some of you). Please be sure all items are clean and marked with price.  Cash only\, so bring some change- sellers and buyers both! \nIf you are hoping to go home with some treasures\, bring along some means of transport- I will bring a few small boxes\, but best you come prepared. And if selling\, be prepared to take back home with you any items that do not find a new home.

SUMMARY:Club Meeting - Pruning to improve your Bonsai Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Out first meeting of the year will be next Sunday\, 9 February\, starting at 2:00 PM. Held at the St. Francis Church Hall\, 92 Mansell Ave.\, Hillcrest.  If for any reason the upper carpark is full\, don’t forget there is another carpark in front of the Church\, just off the Morrinsville road near the traffic circle. And I also suggest you make a habit of bringing your own mug for coffee or tea\, which will taste better than in the styrofoam cups and create less trash! A reminder that the cups and mugs\, etc. that are in the kitchen belong to the Church and are off limits to us!\nThis meeting is on the subject of PRUNING TO IMPROVE YOUR BONSAI. First of all Aaron will talk about pines and review the seedling pines from 2018. So if anyone is growing seedling pines please bring them to the meeting.\nLes and Sandra will talk about Pruning. Sandra will talk about  HEAVY pruning\,  LIGHT pruning\, and  LEAF pruning for deciduous and leafy trees of different species. Les will talk about Conifers and Evergreens including  pines’ and junipers’ needle pruning.\nAfter the talks there will be a workshop on Pruning. \nSo\, bring along any trees  you want to prune or to get advice on about pruning. At the meeting we can decide whether it is the correct time of the year to prune the tree(s)  you want to prune. If it is\,  you can proceed with its  pruning. If not then advice will be given on when to do it and how to do it. Everyone please bring tools for pruning\, turntables  pruning paste if you have them\, notebook & pen\,and camera or smart phone with a camera\, (for before and after pruning records). There will be a lot of information for a variety of trees that is pertinent to the Waikato. I will bring a few spare turntables for those who don’t have one. \nShow and Tell. Any trees appropriate to the Meeting subject. We became a bit lax on the information you should be able to give about your trees last year- write down the following where known: What species and variety\, what style it is or you plan for it\, where and when you acquired it (how long you have owned it)\, if in training\, did you start the process and when\, or if previous owner started it in training and when. \nI will be bringing the Library\, and if I have room I will bring the entire library. You may want to arrive a bit early and/or stay a little later if you want to have a thorough look through all the books and magazines. There will be some more new books hopefully arriving  later this month. BE SURE AND BRING BACK ANY OUTSTANDING BOOKS OR MAGAZINES YOU HAVE AT HOME!!!!

SUMMARY:Club Meeting - Creating an aged look from young material
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Creating an aged look from young material\nWelcome to the New Year of the Hamilton Bonsai Club. You should have received your Newsletter\, thanks to Peter M. \nOur February meeting is next Sunday the 10th. Held at the St. Francis Church Hall\, 92 Mansell Ave.\, Hillcrest . If for any reason the upper carpark is full\, don’t forget there is another carpark in front of the Church\, just off the Morrinsville road close to the traffic circle.\nStarts at 2:00 with a short business meeting\, then the fun begins with the topic workshop – making your young Bonsai tree look like an old one.\n\nBelow is a reminder of what to bring\, from Les.  \nThe main feature of this meeting will be a workshop recreating an aged look from young material. \nAs this will be a workshop we need every body to bring along a tree or trees plus your tools plus wire if you have it. The focus will be on creating an aged look from young material. Look for something that is suitable. Pencil thin trees will not do. I will give a brief introduction. However I would like you to think about how we achieve this aged look before the meeting and I might even ask a few questions to see if you have thought about it. Wiring is one way in which an aged look can be achieved. Sandra will take the lead on the wiring part. Whilst the emphasis will be on this topic if you have a tree that does not fit the theme or if you want advice on any of your bonsai bring them to the meeting. \nI also suggest that you bring your trees to the workshop a little on the dry side as they are easier to work with ie do not water them the day you bring them to the meeting.  LES \nAnd I also suggest you bring your own mug for coffee or tea\, which will taste better than in the styrofoam cups and create less trash! \nIn place of the usual Show and Tell\, the display is to show Summer Disasters and Successes. Each person bringing one can give a brief synopsis of what happened or what worked. \nMarshall will be bringing the Library\, hopefully with two new books if they arrive in time. A reminder you can view the complete Library listing on our webpage. If you want to take out or see a book or magazine\, you can request it from me via email and Marshall will make sure it comes to the meeting. This also applies to the books and magazines in the list that are not normally brought to meetings.  \nWith the National Convention coming up\, I also strongly suggest you learn a bit more about the guest artist\, Suthin Sukosolvisit. Check out his website – www.suthinbonsaistudio.com or Google his name and scroll through the offerings of video clips and more. \nSee you soon!  Marshall

SUMMARY:Club Meeting - Air-layering
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Air-layering\nOur November meeting is next Sunday the 11th starting at 2:00PM. Held at the St. Francis Church Hall\, 92 Mansell Ave.\, Hillcrest . If for any reason the upper carpark is full\, don’t forget there is another carpark in front of the Church\, just off the Morrinsville road. \nAnd don’t forget to bring your own mug\, for better tasting coffee or tea and to reduce the waste we have to remove. \nI will only be bringing a minimum of the Library (I have to leave for the South Island about 4:30AM Monday). On our website is a library listing. Have a look and if you see something you would like to have a read of\, let me know and I will ferret it out and bring it (them) to the meeting. I will be bringing back some terrific books from the South Island for the library\, available in December. \nLindsay Muirhead will be talking and demonstrating air-layering. He has had great success with a variety of trees over the years. If you have a tree you think would make a good candidate to air-layer\, bring it along for some advice. \nAnd bring along a success story from a previous air-layer if you have one for Show and Tell. \nThe garment order placed after the Show\, is being processed but no more orders will be taken this year. Next year there will be an order taken. \nWith the winds we have had and that are in the forecast\, remember they are very drying\, so be attentive to your trees water needs even if there have been some showers.. And when aphids take over\, think twice before using Mavrik. I usually use Confidor but couldn’t find it so used Mavrik\, and burned most of the fresh new leaves. New leaves will be grown\, but it is a stress the tree doesn’t need! Certainly killed the aphids though!
