Hi Everyone,
Welcome to our Monthly Meeting that was on the 9th of May In the absence of Ian W and Arthur R because of work commitments Bill G opened the evenings session.however before things got under way Bill asked members if they would like to make an offer for some Bonsai Trees that a Member of the The Royal Air Forces Association and Roundell Club had passed onto the RAFA Club in a bid to raise money for a worthwhile cause. Bill also mentioned the forthcoming Event The 3rd Welsh National Bonsai Show this August at Newport Gwen and now is the time to looking for selected items and preparing them.Bill then introduced Mr Richard Lewis who was our Guest Speaker on the evenings Topic of
Bonsai Pest and Diseases
It was a very extremely valuable and informative for the Two Dozen who were in the room and they seemed captivated by what Mr Lewis had to say and show via a slideshow presentation and explanations
The Variety of Topics That He Covered Were,
Problems such as Pests, Diseases, Disorders.
Control Methods (A) Chemical,(B) Biologial), (C)Organic.

Whitefly.Mr Lewis brought in a few of his own Bonsai Trees for members to inspect for Little Beasty using a Magnifying Glass as it's extremely difficult to see them if they are not moving .At Break Some members ventured outside to go and check out the Bonsai Trees and so far as I know at least one has been snapped up by Stan so here's hoping other members may follow suit and purchase some of the Bonsai TreesThe evening went extremely well and the time seemed to fly past with members having a Q and A with our Guest speaker and the end of his presentation then all members thanked Mr Lewis for such an inspiring,well presented and knowledgeable evening.
