SPECIAL NOTE! Advance notice - our Bonsai Show this year will be held in November to depict Spring activity and hopefully a few flowers, rather than in Autumn as in previous years!  To compensate, our Annual Sale Day will relocate to 25th May 2024.
The February monthly meeting featured a demonstration on Wiring and Heavy Bending by our own Steve M assisted by Dean S.  The application of raffia to protect the tree's cambium layer, applying heavy wire, and the supplementary use of guy wires were all well covered by Steve - an eye-opener for newer members and a valuable refresher for others.
Our March Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 12th March will be a presentation by David R on his recent visit to the Kokufu-ten Bonsai Exhibition in Japan, followed by a  "Tree Laboratory" and discussion on unusual or problem trees submitted by members.  Should be a very interesting night!  Members who are thinking of bringing along a tree for the Lab should advise President Patrick prior to the night.
The Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 30th March from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Chirnside Park Hub.  Note - this is Easter Saturday.

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 fourteen 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 2024.
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.
