Membership

New members are always welcome, just come along to one of our monthly meetings at the RAFA club. You can even 'try us out' for a few months before you decide on joining as an official member. The meetings are informal (there's a bar!) and the club members are (mostly) friendly, approachable and happy to pass on guidance and information to anybody interested in bonsai- whatever your level of experience.

Ginkgo awards 2007


Follow the link for a review of the Ginkgo awards courtesy of the Art of Bonsai project
Not sure but these would seem to be 'hot off the press' (within the week?) as I haven't come across any pics anywhere else!!



Interesting to see Angel Mota's (controversial) olea winners & David Barlow's European Beech (as above).
I also like Carlos Huerta's olive- I need to get me one!!!!!!

(plus see how many faces you can recognise)

Enjoy!
