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.

November ToTM


This months ToTM is pictured above, a Privet created by Ian W.

According to Ian -

"The Privet was collected from a garden about 5 years ago cut down to about 12”” then down to 6” its present height and all the deadwood was carved by me and the pot is by Dave Jones of Walsall Ceramics."
