SPECIAL NOTE! YVBS Bonsai Exhibition 2025 - coming up on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November!
The September Monthly Meeting was our Annual General Meeting where the previous year was reviewd and officers' reports presented, followed by the election for Committee positions. We have a new President Steve M, Vice President Grant L, and Treasurer Ken G. Many thanks to retiring members Patrick I, Wendy S, and Alan H for their service. The AGM was followed by an auction of bonsai books donated from a deceased estate, where members snapped up some rare offerings.
Our October Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 14th October will feature a presentation and demonstration on Air Layering Techniques by our own Steve M. Come along and learn how to get free trees! The theme for the Display Table will be "Shohin and Mame size bonsai", or Member's Choice.
Advance notice - Our annual Bonsai Exhibition is coming up on 22nd and 23rd November - all members are encouraged to submit one tree for inclusion. See Steve M if you are in doubt about the suitability of a tree.

The Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 25th October 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 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.

Value Statement - WE ENHANCE YOUR BONSAI JOURNEY BY INSPIRING YOU TO BECOME A BETTER BONSAI ARTIST THROUGH A HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT OF FRIENDSHIP, LEARNING, AND CELEBRATION OF THIS ANCIENT ART.
