Hi Ayrshire Group members. Our next scheduled meeting will be this Sunday 10th November 2019 - 1.30pm at Alloway Village Hall as usual. The theme for the day will be wiring. Bring what you can for the display tables. There will be some normal administration matters to be considered and no doubt feedback about the SBA AGM which took place on Sunday 3rd Novemeber. I would also hope to receive final figures for those wishing to attend the Christmas Lunch event.

Thursday 7th November 19.50-22.00pm Currie Scout Hall, Lanark Road, Currie

Bring along a tree or several to work on, tea and coffee provided, you could trim your larches, check your pines for buds or take a look at your deciduous trees now that they have dropped their leaves.

Hi all,

Our next meeting is Tuesday 5th November "bonfire night" but you  can  still bring your trees! 

We will have a members majority vote to choose those suitable for same!!

Just kidding, Pine is the  theme for this meet.

Hi all,

Our next meeting is Tuesday 3rd. December and will be our party night with all the usual suspects of a quiz, raffle, silent auction and all the festive goodies.

You can still branch out and bring a tree along!

So, get your baubles, bangles and beads on and join us, the girls can dress up as well!

Cheers,

R.S.

Time for some winter preparations for all trees, including a little light pruning and wiring. In addition if you have a larch, then please bring one then we can compare their different stages of development. All welcome

We’ll have an evening of nibbles and general chat. If you’re inclined then bring a decorated Christmas bonsai tree for display – they are always lovely to look at. Keith will bring our group project juniper, kindly donated by Alison. He has, following an extensive reduction of unwanted branches more than two years ago, maintained it in excellent health and improved its structure. But now it needs a more detailed plan for its future style. There are plenty of options, so a good discussion of possibilities to find the best one should be entertaining and instructive. Penicuik and Edinburgh members welcome.
