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!

SUMMARY:Club Meeting - Guest Speaker Tony Bebb
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Guest Speaker Tony Bebb \nTony Bebb from Australia is our Demonstrator for the afternoon. Please bring along two or three trees for him to critique or that you want suggestions for. This format proved to be very interesting and useful last year! He will discuss as many trees as possible in the time frame\, looking at a tree from each member in turn. Big tree\, little tree\, young tree\, old tree\, but one you have had a good look at yourself. \nWe will not have a separate Show and Tell section at this meeting. The Library will be available. \nAs this will be the first meeting at the new venue\, Melody will go over the “House Rules” and explain the layout in the business meeting. \nAnd as we have to take our trash away with us\, and in the interest of doing our bit to reduce landfill quantity\, we ask that you get in the habit of bringing your own cup or mug for tea/coffee. (Your tea or coffee will taste a lot better!) There will still be the styrofoam cups\, if you forget your own mug.
