On Wednesday evening the 9th on November the Penultimate get-together before the end of the year 2011 we were in double figures again with members and it was hugs and kisses for our ever Young Mary whom we all welcomed back into the fold after her recent hospitalization
On Wednesday evening the 9th on November the Penultimate get-together before the end of the year 2011 we were in double figures again with members and it was hugs and kisses for our ever Young Mary whom we all welcomed back into the fold after her recent hospitalization
It was then up to Chairman Ian W to get session under way and during his opening speech he reminded members that there was a Bonsai Title To Defend at the Well Respected and Popular Swindon and District Bonsai Society Winter Image Show and as part of their 10th Anniversary years celebrations,The Swindon and District Bonsai Society announced that at their Winter Image Show,is to be held on the 19th February 2012,will feature an exciting new exhibit section and the Society had a request from Mr Bob Bailey to our society to participate in this wonderful event so now it up to members to start preparing and selecting their trees which would be available but most of all suitable for such a Prestigious Winter Show Event.
Ian then introduced Dave Y to give his Winter Preparation thoughts and idea's but before Dave got started with his session he informed members that he was taking a BONSAI BREAK OF 12 MONTHS and assured everyone one and like a Famous movie actor Arnold Schwarzenegger once said in his 1984 Science Fiction Thriller Film The Terminator " I'll Be Back* so we all wish Dave a very Pleasant and Resting Break from Bonsai Public Appearances and he knows that the W-B-S will always be here for him and welcome him back enthusiastically should he decide to cut short his Bonsai Break, hopefully he will miss W-B-S as much as everyone will MISS Him.
Right, on with the Dave's Winter Preparation- once again it was a big benefit with helpful and constructive to us all and many of what was said and suggested really made sense so we will NOT lose many Bonsai Trees as last winter and carrying out advice and idea's that Dave presented will take a massive step to prevent that happening and we all will not lose any trees if any during the on-coming Winter.There's a lot to be said for Preparation before hand such as getting rid or Moss,Cleaning the Trunks and branches,tidying the pots,Securing the trees, finding the best Location,checking out various COLD spot in your area or garden ,doing a few Water in a container test. Watching out for Persistent Rainfall over few days, wedging up pots even covering them for short periods with plastic to prevent water logging and roots being freezing The use of Sheds Garages and even a Shaded Greenhouse for many Trees how-ever remember that some trees need to be left out such as Conifers
Not many Bonsai Trees on Display this evening a few Pines including a few Itoigawa's ,Azalea, Privet and a Accent plant and T-o-T-M was The Small Privet selected by Dave Y
All in all it was a great entertaining session with Dave and members enjoying getting involved with various suggestion of their own experience of what happen during past winter preparation with some banter thrown in and extremely useful information given
At the End chairman Ian W and members applauded Dave Y for his enthusiastic and well presented chat and demo and informed Dave that he will be missed and honestly hopes he returns to Bonsai Fold after his Restful break also that Dave as Vice-chairman was the Rock in the Society and THE BEST VICE-CHAIRMAN he has ever had working with him also for all his extremely hard and Valuable Contribution so after many hand shakes and ( not a dry eye in the house ) it was a wonderful evening
So from us ALL DAVE Y at W-B-S take care look after yourself and all your family including all your Bonsai Trees plus pots and keep checking your RED LIGHT just hope no-one takes it the wrong way and knocks on your door and ask's how much!!!!!, also Hope its not to early but have a great Christmas in Tenerife and all the best for everyone within your family for2012
Just a reminder and a note for your schedules the Penultimate or Last Sunday of Month this year 2011 Workshop at the GGC on the 27th of November 2011
Take care and look after each other and all your family and Bonsai Trees
Jim the lad
