Bonsai club locations

Post by paddles »

why doesn't some bright person, who is good at such things, get a map of Aust, (Or each state as would probably be applicable) and mark where the clubs are based. so that someone could look on the map, see which club is closest.

Down load there PDF files that should do it. The National collection were handing out a flier that had all affiliated clubs. There are many that are not members of AABC.

So they will not be on the register of AABC.

We have had some frustration trying to update club information on some sites. Contacts for several of our local clubs are years out of date. I still get brochures and reminders sent to Beechworth Bonsai Club which closed down more than 10 years ago. for anyone who is interested Albury Wodonga Bonsai is still active with members from Northeast vic and southern nsw.
