Hi all Ayrshire Group members. Our next get together is this Sunday 11th September 2022 in Alloway Village Hall as usual. This meet will be somewhat different as it will be our Open Day when we hope that members of the public, passing pedestrians or anyone else for that matter will care to come in and visit with us. It is our opportunity to make what we do known to others. It should also offer any visitors time to appreciate our display and seek information and knowledge of bonsai. The event has been subject to local advertising etc. Remember this will be a display so please bring along suitable trees for exhibition. If you have any surplus pots or other bonsai related items and you wish to gift or sell them on to others then bring them along. Please try and arrive about 12.30 or as soon as possible thereafter to help set things up.

Sunday September 4th 14.00-16.30pm Currie Scout Hall, Lanark Road, Currie

First meeting of the new session, bring along those trees that have had you scratching your head over the summer, or just the trees you haven't got round to yet!

Tea and coffee provided

See you there!

Hi all,

Syllabus should be ready for our next meeting on Tuesday 4th. October.

The theme is Winter Preparation, so lets have a good turnout with loads of trees to talk about and admire.

See you all then.

R.S.

Next meeting: Tuesday 13th September, Penicuik town hall, 7pm.

I’m delighted that we are returning to Penicuik town hall on a monthly basis through till summer 2023. We’ll probably have a busy night catching up on some trees neglected over the summer. And we will also have our brief annual discussion of how the group is run, annual accounts and what you wish us to be doing over the coming year. All welcome. 

Our next meeting on Sunday 11th September will be at the normal venue of Stanley Rifle Club.  Time slot: 10.00am to 13.00pm.

Q&A along with workshop on tasks for this time of year.

All visitors old and new are welcome.

Our next meeting on Sunday 2nd October will be at the normal venue of Stanley Rifle Club.  Time slot: 10.00am to 13.00pm.

Viewing and discussion of those Trees, Accent plantings and Suiseki brought along for display.  Especially looking for trees with an Autumnal feel about them.

The next West Lothian meeting will take place at The Brock Garden Centre in Broxburn on the 25th September 2022.

Times will be the same as usual ie 1pm until approx 3pm.

There will be a talk by Maurice who is going to talk about his shohin and Mame, successes, failures, garden centre stock etc, so should be quite wide ranging.
