Wednesday get together was for me an amazing evening for the way John Armitage- presented the Moving Trees Forward Session, the time just seem to flash by as he was so informative at what he was doing and demonstrated by working on at least 3 or 4 members Bonsai Trees with the odd wise-crack during the demo.
John being Chairman of the British Shohin Association and winner of countless prestigious Awards for his Bonsai Trees, had all the members enthralled in the session plus the The Lady who was serving from the Bar popped her head round the door to listen and see what John was doing with the Trees!
The Society enjoyed success At Swindon-District-Bonsai-Winter-Show-2011 and a selection of W-B-S Images can be seen at the two sites below:

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.
