SPECIAL NOTE! Our Bonsai Show will be staged on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th November at the Chirnside Park Community Hub. Put it in your diary now!!
The September Monthly Club Meeting was our Annual General Meeting, where reports for the previous year were presented and a new Committee of Management elected. Following the brief AGM, a general workshop was held.
Our October Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 8th October will feature a presentation on "Wiring Techniques" by special guest presewnter and AABC Visiting Tutor Tony Bebb from Brisbane. This will be followed by a Wiring Workshop supervised by Tony. Members should bring along one of their trees in need of wiring, to practice their wiring techniques. Alternatively, a selection of pines provided by the Club will be available for you to practice wiring. You have the option of purchasing the tree at the end of the meeting, but are under no obligation to do so. The theme for the Display Table will be "Forest or Groups", or Member's Choice.
Tony Bebb will also be conducting Tutored Workshops on Sunday 6th October for enrolled members, to be held at Japara House in Kilsyth due to the unavailability of the Chirnside Hub on this date. Selected members have also booked Tony for private one-on-one sessions on Monday 7th October and during the day on Tuesday 8th October.

The Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 26th October from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Chirnside Park Hub

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 sixteen 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.
