LATEST NEWS: On 4 September, our "First Saturday of the Month Workshop"  will be held from 2-5pm at "Bonsai - The Imagination Tree", 136 York Road, Mount Evelyn [Melway Ref. 120 D1].  This will coincide with their "Bonsai Open Day" which will feature bonsai demos and clinics, an ikebana session, Japanese drumming, and other activities.  Pat Kennedy will be back in Victoria with a selection of handcrafted pots.   Any and all visitors are most welcome to both our workshop and the Open Day!  Look for the club banner, pointing you to the training room on the west side of the nursery, closest to the 'York on Lilydale' complex next door.

For our monthly meeting on Tuesday 14 September, the Review/Overview Session from 7.00-7.30pm will look at pot styles and selection.  After the business section at 7.30pm, Chris Sirre will conduct a repotting session.  Members are encouraged to bring in any trees in need of a re-pot and suitable for a root prune at this time of year.  The Display Table theme is "Japanese Maples" in any style OR [as always] Member's Choice. On 18 September, our club will head off on the fourth and last (for this year) "Nursery Crawl" covering several spots down in the Mornington Penninsula area. Details will be conveyed at the September meeting.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge our new business sponsors: "Bonsai - The Imagination Tree" (Mt. Evelyn) and "Orient Bonsai Nursery" (Reservoir).
