Apologies


A quick message to all members and blog groupies - Apologies for the lack of posts recently, not to mention meeting absenteeism.

A combination of being snowed under at work, recovering from the broken leg and more pertinently the imminent arrival of 'Mame no. 2' has cut my spare time to zero.

Bear with it and hopefully there will be more drivel (or is that dribble?) soon.

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.
