Burrs 2009

Simon and I attended the most excellent Burrs workshop in Bury over this past weekend. Rather than me putting up lots of photos I have added a link here to the Internet Bonsai Club forum thread that has lots of pictures and banter about the weekend. Enjoy

November Club Meeting

Last night meeting got off to a great start. New members, new trees and a new keen and eager committee waiting to put a new stamp on the club. Everyone got stuck into removing wire and winter pruning. Peter took some of the newer members under his already expanding wing and gave all the newbies pointers and ways to go about the future of their trees. Last night was, for the first in a long time, buzzing with Bonsai and good friendship, long may it reign!

Christmas Quiz

I know its early days yet but at the Christmas social I have come up with a brain tingling quiz and the person with the highest score on the night will recieve a set of 3 unglazed Shohin Pots. So a good incentive to get involved and get the ol' grey matter working. So get swotting up now guys and gals.

Next Club Meeting 2nd November

Right dust off your wen cutters and bring out your copper wire with gay abandon! Next club meeting is an open workshop. So there is no excuse not to get stuck in get some winter pruning done or wire on wire off as Mr Miyagi once said. See you there for some Bonsai work of the workshop kind.
