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 June Monthly Club Meeting featured a presentation on "Elements of Styling" by our Club President Patrick I. He discussed how we can bring out the possibilities in a tree when it doesn't conform to the classic Left-Right-Back branch positions. A thought-provoking presentation well-illustrated with examples.
Our July Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 9th July will feature a demonstration on "Shimpaku Juniper Development" by special guest presenter and AABC Visiting Tutor David Nassar. David has many years of experience in developing and styling shimpaku junipers and is an entertaining speaker - should be a very informative night. He will also comment and advise on any junipers brought along to the meeting by members.
The Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 27th July from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Chirnside Park Hub.
The Introduction to Bonsai training course has been completed. Any newer members who missed out can put their names down for the next course, currently scheduled for 2025 but could be brought forward if sufficient demand exists.
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.
