Hi, All Ayrshire Group Members. You will all be happy chappies (and chapesses!) as result of our further recent success at Gardening Scotland. But now we need to come back down to earth and back to club level. Our next meeting will be Sunday 11th June and the theme will be maples. Please bring something along to display and expose to other members for inspiration or direction. Mr Robert Fulton, President of Glasgow and District Fuchsia Society has agreed to come along impart some advice and guidance about producing bonsai from that particular species. If you have one in development bring it along and get some expert advice. This should prove to be an informative session so please take advantage of Mr Fulton's knowledge. Our usual workshop and hands-on tabletop activity will also take place. We can also examine our display at Edinburgh and make any appropriate comment or suggestions for future displays. Let's learn from our success. Well done all involved.

Next meeting: Tuesday 13th June, Penicuik town hall, 7.30pm.
A good time for pruning of early growing conifers or late growing, or continuous leafing, deciduous trees. Deciduous trees, of suitable species, with dense canopies may be defoliated if sufficiently vigorous, or less stressfully partially defoliated by leaf cutting. Wiring can also be useully done on conifers, but be especially careful with junipers which have very delicate cambium at this time. All welcome.

Summer meetings: Sunday 30th July and Sunday 3rd September

Currie Scout Hall, Lanark Road, Currie EH14 5JX.

We will be joining the Edinburgh group at their base for a more extended session. Come anytime between 10.30 and 4.30, bring trees for work or advice, or just for a look and a blether.
Visitors from other groups are also welcome.
