SPECIAL NOTE! AGM will be in July this year, due to the earlier date for our Bonsai Exhibition - 24th and 25th October.
The May Monthly Meeting featured a demonstration on "Developing Interest in Young Trees" with special guest and YVBS Sponsor Tien Lao from Bonsai Sensation Nursery. Always a pleasure to have Tien join us, and as usual he gave a very informative presentation and demonstration which generated much discussion from the attending members.
Our June Monthly Meeting at 7:30pm on Tuesday 9th June will be a Workshop Night - bring along your trees and tools, or just come along to check out what others are working on. Guidance and assistance from experienced members will be available if required. The theme for the Display Table will be "Penjing Bonsai", or Member's Choice.

Note our AGM will be held in July this year at our normal Club meeting. Nomination forms for Officers and Committee members will be available at the June meeting, or contact any committee member to register interest. Members are encouraged to step forward to help with the running of our Club, and to introduce fresh ideas and approaches.

The June Last Saturday of the Month Workshop will be held on Saturday 27th June 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.
