Today the club had its in house New Talent competition. The stock trees were supplied by Dawn Collier of the West coast Bonsai , and we had 6 contestants. Some of the members have 1 year experience, up to 9 years.
They each had 4 hours to do what they could to produce an almost instant finished Bonsai.

We had our Monthly meeting today , a week earlier than usual. Mark Polson gave us practical advice and tips on what to do when , on Junipers and Japanese Black pines. He only works with these 2 species , and therefore understands them well!! We had 20 members attending, which was excellent considering the weather. And the soup was great too !!!

We had a great 2nd meeting for the year , Topic was How to care for Yamidori- The wild Olive being the species. The presentation was given by Eugene DE Goede , who gave a well researched talk with the latest trends on the aftercare. Many members could not attend, but we still had a great turnout with new visitors.

Great last meeting for the year today with 20 members attending!! Our Guest speaker was The one and only professor of Bonsai, Carl Morrow. What a practical demo he gave us on - Big changes for Long-term Bonsai. From Chopping down trees, to airlayers, scion grafts, Phoenix grafts and turning trees up side down, was really thought provoking!!
We will have a Pine workshop for our club members on the 16th December, otherwise, that's it till the end of January! Have a good festive Season and make time to work on your trees !!!
