Forth Valley: Tuesday 7th Oct     at 7.30pm in the Mayfield Centre, Bannockburn. Workshop with Alan Tytler giving information and advice about

                                                       and prepare for their long sleep. You may have some that will also benefit from some judicious styling now, as
                                                       structure becomes visible when leaves fall. Lets encourage our newer members to bring along a tree or two to
                                                       display as well as any you might have spare to pass on, for a small donation, as practice material.
