Hi all Ayrshire Group members. Another programmed year is about to end. Our next scheduled meeting will be Sunday 8th September 2019 at Alloway Village Hall as usual. Lets get started at 1.30pm. You will recall at the last meeting it was agreed to bring our AGM forward to the September meeting. I do not anticipate any great changes to the current committee set up. Having said that, be in no doubt that if anyone wishes to claim any of the election positions then an orderly queue will be welcome and due consideration given!! As well as official AGM business and election this will also be our annual Swap and Sell event so bring along anything bonsai related that you wish to dispose of by whatever method. Trees will also be required for the usual display table and also to work on if required. In that regard this was also the day previously earmarked as our Joe Ballie Day so any of Joe's trees (now in hands of other members ) would be a very fitting sight and commemoration on display tables. This will be a full/busy but enjoyable afternoon. Please do your best to attend this important meeting. See you then and there.

Thursday 5th September 19.50-22.00 Currie Scout Hall, Lanark Road, Currie 

Hasn’t the time flown? Yes, we’re back to our monthly meetings, so bring along your trees, it’s a good time to prune deciduous trees. Might be ok to needle prune pines, if it stays mild.

See you soon!

Our next meeting on Tuesday 1st. October is deciduous  trees and preparation of same for winter.

As usual  I expect to see a veritable forest coming in!

See you all then.

R.S.

Tuesday 10th September, Penicuik town hall, 7.30pm.

We’ll probably have a busy night catching up on some trees neglected over the summer. And we also have our brief annual discussion of how the group is run, annual accounts and what you wish us to be doing over the coming year. All welcome.
