Hi Bugged and welcome. The Bonsai Society meets at Mt Gravatt so that would be the closest Brisbane based club to you. Bimer meets at Chermside but that is a little further.

I love Purple and it's Nat's favourite colour too
I see a Purple Beetle on the way to work that has been topped, and now has a white SoftTop on it. Looks very nice too :-)

I Found a club

Post by buggedgirl »

Thanks to everyone who helped me with club advice for Brisbane. Today I spent a very enjoyable afternoon with Bonsai society of Qld.Thank you to the people who made me feel very welcome.I had a very interesting time listening to the talk on suiseki / veiwing stones it has given me a new look on rock / stones [img][/img] I will never just walk past a stone and think it is boring or useless ever again.(This could be a very bad thing).Next meeting will be even more exciting for me as I will be getting some much needed advice and tutoring on my bonsai." I'm excited" Thumbs up to BSQ[img][/img]

Just a update on Clubs. I have been trying for months to contact the Wagga Wagga club, I have tried all the numbers and email addresses that people have given me and the ones I have found by searching but to no avail. Anyone know another way to contact them it would be greatly appreciated.
