SPECIAL NOTE! The YVBS Bonsai Exhibition has been and gone for another year! We hope that you had an opportunity to visit and appreciate the dispaly, and maybe pick up a treasure from the sales area.

October's meeting featured a Root Over Rock presentation and demonstration by Steve M, who showed us some existing compositions from his collection, and then worked through the development process using some of his trees and rocks as well as material brought in by members.

Our November Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 10th November will be a Presentation on Azaleas as Bonsai. Our President Steve M in conjunction with Lindsay H will be overviewing the species and describing their individual approaches to styling, care and maintenance. The theme for the Display Table will be "Azaleas", or Member's Choice.

Our annual YVBS Bonsai Exhibition in October was a great success and reached new heights in the quality of the trees and the display arrangement. Thanks to all members who contributed their trees and /or time to the major event on our Club bonsai calendar.

The November Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 29th November from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

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 2026.
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.
