Clubs in Adelaide

Post by Jason.S »

Is anyone on here associated with the Northern District Bonsai Club, here in Adelaide? If so where and when do they meet etc.

As much as I'd love to get involved with the SA Bonsai Society, I'm out the other side of town. Attending their meetings is difficult and there isn't many other club options in Adelaide that I'm aware of.

I've just joined the Northern Districts Bonsai club myself. They meet on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month at the Bonsai Tree Gardens nursery on Seaview Rd, Yatala Vale. The next one is Sunday week (27th) and it's on from 11-3. Just bring a bonsai and get helpful advice from the more experienced members! Cost is $25 per year. :)

Bek is it a big club? I can't imagine they have many members considering there's not a lot of information around about them.

To be honest I don't know yet, I literally only joined last weekend and most of the members were off at the Annual Show in Goodwood. It's not as big as the one that meets on Goodwood Rd. They do have Christmas parties and stuff, I'm told, so I'm guessing there's a fair amount of members. I'll find out more next weekend!

Thanks Bek, let me know how you go there.

Even if its not as big shouldn't matter. Sounds like it would be more convenient going there than Goodwood.
