Our first meeting for 2012

We will be collecting membership dues for the year ( still $30 ). This is also our annual general meeting and we will elect our executive, so if anyone is interested please let an executive member know. Do not worry, the AGM portion of the meeting will be short and there will be plenty of time to work on trees. Bring along your evergreens and maples for wiring and pruning or just bring yourself to observe and learn.

Also a reminder of our upcoming spring workshop, which will be a Saekei group planting. Space is limited so please let Jim Mason know asap if you are interested. Any questions, just e-mail the webmaster at info_bcbonsai@shaw.ca and hopefully I will soon have the webpage updated with more information about the workshop.
