SPECIAL NOTE! Remember - no Last Saturday of the Month Workshop in December! We wish all our members and followers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and look forward to commencing the new bonsai year in January.
The November Monthly Meeting featured a presentation and discussion on "Pot Selection" by our own Steve M, assisted by comments from various members. A great contribution from Steve and Elaine B who brought in a selection of pots as illustrations.
Our December Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 9th December will be our Christmas breakup, which we will cater with some nibblies. Bring along something sweet to share and drinks if you wish. There will also be a discussion on some trees brought along by members. If you have a tree that you need help with or if you have a tree you're working on and want to show it off, please bring it. Steve, Grant and Dean will go over the theory, practical explanation and provide the fundamentals of the decisions behind finding the most ideal front for your tree as well as its overall design for the future The theme for the Display Table will be "Your Favourite Tree", or Member's Choice.

Our annual Bonsai Exhibition has been and gone, and was rated a great success by all who visited. The Trees were independently judged for the first time, and Best Tree in Large, Medium and Small categories were awarded. Congratulations to John G, Marlene J and Grant L on their awards, and to John G for People's Choce of Best Tree.

Remember - no Saturday workshop in December.

Visitors are always welcome at any of our meetings or workshops, so feel free to drop in to check out our activities. Our Club is ideally suited to help you enjoy this wonderful hobby and pastime. We are a relatively new Club, just seventeen years old, but we boast a bunch of friendly members with a wide variety of experience and ages, some brand new to bonsai, right through to those that have been enjoying it for over forty years, and many degrees in between. It is a great place to learn in a friendly and welcoming environment.
We look forward to catching up with you somewhere in the "world of bonsai" in 2025.
The venue for all of our Meetings and Workshops is the Chirnside Park Community Hub, 33 Kimberley Drive, Chirnside Park. Contact yarravalleybonsai@gmail.com for additional information.
