Sean's Crab Apple

Tony.... not quite so boastfull!!

Another good show of members at Wednesday Meeting and the Tree Analysis/ Critique" was extremely well presented with Dave Y opening the meeting with a few words about Both Societies ( W-B-S AND V-O-C-B-S ) being represented at "The Best Of Britain Bonsai Show" The session was then kicked off by asking the owner's of the Tree to give a little insight into their tree, what developments and what is the next step to try and move their tree forward . - Ken, brought his tree up to the Table and got the Critique rolling and Lee was first up with his opinions followed by Andy and Tony and all 3 had the members participating in the discussion and this continued all the way through the evening with over 2 Dozen Trees on show and for me it was great to see members participating with suggestions.

Tree of the Month- April

ToTM for April was this beautiful Maple belonging to Sean D.

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.
