We have four international Bonsai Artists visiting this year and it is important we start thinking about raw material to bring for these workshops. \nIt 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. \nAs 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.

If you have a tree that you think will be suitable for carving bring it along to the meeting. We will get Kathy to select from the trees available what she would like to demonstrate on. \nKathy comes from South Africa with a very good reputation. This meeting therefore is one not to be missed.

To make it less of a gamble could you indicate via Email or by phone what you are likely to bring.

We have filtered water available if you run out.\n\nPlease contact us for location details.
