SPECIAL NOTE! Happy New Year to all our members and bonsai enthusiasts! 2026 promises to be a busy and active year for the Club.
The December Monthly Meeting featured our Christmas breakup and a "Show and Tell" by various members who brought in one of their trees to review and share their progress. Much discussion ensued which delayed our enjoyment of the festive fair laid on by the club and contirubutions by members.
Our January Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 13th January will be a general workshop. Bring along some trees to wprk on - advice and assistance will be available from senior members if required. The theme for the Display Table will be "Australian Natives", or Member's Choice.

Wall calendars have been printed containing a selection of trees featured in our 2025 Bonsai Exhibition. They can be purchased at our January meeting and workshop, price is $10each. Sign-up sheets for our upcoming Tony Bebb Tutored Workshops in March and the Introduction to Bonsai Training Course in May will also be available.

The January Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 31st January 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.
