Like the rest of you, we are waiting on word regarding when we have access to a meeting place that complies with COVID-19 restrictions and numbers allowed to meet will accommodate club levels.
The safety of our members and compliance with NI restrictions is paramount.
As and when it becomes possible we will update you here.

On Friday 9th after our opening critique of members trees we are going to look at how we wire our trees and do a little deciduous pruning.

Come join us at 8pm Cregagh Youth and Community Centre.

This Friday is the October club meeting at Cregagh Youth and Community Centre starting at 8pm. This months meeting will be a critique and workshop.

Congratulations Alan McManus, one of our members, who for the first time in living memory managed to win the Craig Wallace Award at Belfast Parks Autumn Fair. His Hinoki Cypress having won best in Show within the bonsai classes was put forward for the best exhibit in the whole horticultural show and won! Pictured above is Alan receiving his award from Brian McKinley from Belfast Parks.

Well done Alan, a feat unlikely to repeated anytime soon.

The usual meeting this Friday 13th September at Cregagh Cummunity Centre has been changed to a different venue and time.

The meeting will now be held at The set up for the Autumn Fair at Botanic Gardens, Belfast starting at 7pm.

Due to the clash of events and our desire to encourage members to exhibit at the Autumn Fair we will be combining the two on Friday evening. I would encourage members to exhibit a tree both for their own experience and for the pleasure of the public. We can learn a lot from exhibiting our bonsai. There will be a selection of stands and accents available on the night for those without to chose from. Experienced hands will be there to assist with set up.
