January Meeting- AGM

The AGM......
-
....& a possible side effect!!
-
Simon Temblett visited.... but didn't put himself forward for any committee position!
-
Simon and 'team' evaluate Dee's larch group.
-

The AGM was well attended with some new members joining so that was great news.
It was a Good AGM with the old committee being re-elected and the members thanked the committee for all their hard work during the past year and it was unanimous that they should remain in post. Also 3 other members were elected to the committee And Doug M Volunteered Mrs M to be Secretary which was accepted.

Simon T visited the club and was on hand to give expert advice on a larch group which Dee was seeking help with and it attracted a few members listening to what Simon had to say and chip in with their opinions

There,s a few interesting things that was put forward to help move the club forward and Dave Y made some solid suggestion and if all goes well 2011 should see members improving their knowledge and their Bonsai Trees with a more hands on approach at we all hope with more workshops between W-B-S and V-O-C-B-S but Dave Y will fill you in with more on that
It was another good night at the society with the Committee looking to take the club forward and made many good suggestion as how to improve our standing in the World of Bonsai in the UK or even further

The members were enthusiastic and got involved in the discussions and agree help the committee in their effect to do so and the Vice Chair Reminded the Members It a Members club and not just for the same ones getting involved all the time.

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.
