Northern Ireland Bonsai Society

Friday night saw Robert Porch demonstrating for our members. Ably assisted by Phil he worked through several pre-wired trees explaining how to make the most of the material on offer. He also spent some time explaining how to get the best out of your trees and increasing your stock by air layering.

Here’s a few photos from the night.

Robert shows just how big the fish that Phil caught at the weekend was

Robert’s fish was much bigger, he just couldn’t get his hands around it

Larch getting a change of shape.

Some work on Ben’s Japanese Black Pine.

A surprise for Robert as we just couldn’t let his forth coming 50th Birthday pass without marking the occasion. That Kilt photo got another outing too

 An enjoyable evening.

At our meeting this Friday night we have a slight change of set up away from the usual workshop.

We are taking advantage of having Robert Porch from Scotland in Northern Ireland for a while and he will be demonstrating some bonsai techniques to us at the meeting this Friday 11th, 8pm Cregagh Youth & Community Centre.

We hope all our members take advantage and attend what should be a great night.

If you were in any doubts as to Robert’s Nationality, please see below. He will not be turning up dressed like this on the night

Robert is an Honorary club member who, in previous years, has contributed greatly to raising the level of bonsai in Northern Ireland. We look forward to seeing him back at one of our meetings.
