SPECIAL NOTE! Membership renewals are due 1st July - an email reminder will be sent to all members early in July.
The June Club meeting featured a presentation and demonstration from special guest Kimberly Halter from the Bonsai Academy in Toowoomba, QLD who spoke with authority and passion on developing Japanese Black Pine as bonsai. Her handout describing the yearly work calendar will be particularly useful to our members. She also conducted a series of tutored workshops and private sessions which many members used to their advantage with great results being achieved.
Our July Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 8th July will feature a presentation by our own member Jason B who will speak and demonstrate on "Working Roots for Shohin Size Bonsai". Jason is a very experienced bonsai practitioner and nurseryman and was one of the founding members of our Club. Great to see him back after his membership lapsed for many years! The theme for the Display Table will be "Winter Silhouette", or Member's Choice.
Advance notice - All Committee members will stand down at the September Annual General Meeting. All members are requested to consider standing for the new Committee - you don't need to be a bonsai expert, just have enthusiasm and the ability to spare a few hours of time. Talk to any current Committee member for further information.

The Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 26th July 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 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 2025.
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.
