A call to arms-

"I have not had many trees submitted by the Wirral crew. Can you rally the troops because I want the Wirral to be represented at BOBB, but that is only going to happen if I get the submissions.

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.
