As you will read in Sandra,s corner it was a some what subdued meeting but it did give time to reflect and remember Manuel Gonzalez, I have only fond memories of a real character who when ever you met him you were not sure what he was going to come out with, his enthusiasm for Bonsai was real and endless.
Septembers tree of the month only attracted 3 members, they included Sally M, Tony D and Clive H.
On Sept 9th it was the annual Dragon bonsai club car boot & auction. Continue reading “Sandra,s corner September meeting”
Septembers meeting was a talk by Malcolm on Tokonoma, this was a step away from working on trees and was aimed at explaining to members who had not seen this before as to what is a Tokonoma and what makes a good and bad one.
August’s TOTM was judged by Ritta & Mark Cooper who chose Sally’s Trident Maple for first place with Clive Harber in second place with his Cotoneaster and Third place was Tony O with his Privet. Chris J was the forth entry.
Our last meeting was a talk & practical by Ritta & Mark Cooper.I hope those of you who joined in enjoyed the evening.The plan (what plan!!) was that the club would pay the difference on the plants & in fact so many of you bought plants that it only cost the club £24!

You will read in Clive H,s show report that our last display for Salisbury,s 25th did despite two minor hiccups go rather well, congratulations to Salisbury club for finding such a suitable venue with ease of access, parking and most important food available all day.
Warminster club has just recently completed 2 good displays, the first was at Newbury which was a new venue in a purpose built display area with lots of room to get about in and with areas away from the displays to work on your own trees which made the day go a lot quicker and made the day more interesting because the people passing through would stop and watch you work and ask question or generally just chat for a few moments.
We had 9 entries this month and it was judged by Manuel. 1st was Tony with his Blackthorn, 2nd was Clive H with his Juniper & 3rd was Sally with her Korean Hornbeam.
Apologies for not announcing results at the meeting but will make sure for the next one.
As you know the meeting was a demo by the famous? Manuel and for those who know him you knew it was going to be lively and entertaining.
