You may already have noticed that we are fundraising to buy server space. This is so that we can reclaim our well known internetbonsaiclub.org URL, and reinstate a website to run alongside the IBC forum, as it used to be, but redesigned, brought up to date and hopefully improved. 



I'd like this to also become the repository of some of the superb threads that are generated from time to time. These would be reworked as articles with any distracting comments and backpatting edited  ...</description>

			<description>Behind the scenes, many of our lovely Potters and at least one non IBC potter have been spurred into a frenzy of activity. The reason for their hard toil, to each produce a pot for us to auction to you, dear readers. 



What better way for us to raise much needed funds and help our potter community to promote their wares.



Horst has kindly donated this beautiful pot for us to auction. Bidding can start now at €25 (that's Euro's for anyone who is unfamiliar).

John and Shirley White made many friends both in Australia and the U.S. over the years and were founding members of the Bonsai Society of Canberra. His funeral will take place on Wednesday Nov. 4th at the Anglican Church Mirboo North.

			<description>Along with the changes on the Forum, I've been busy sorting out a new look, with improved navigation buttons, up above, and a Home page (first new button, top left) that you may not have noticed. One feature on the Home page that I find very useful is the ability to click on &quot;View posts since last visit&quot; at the top of the left column. This brings up just the posts since you last visited and speeds things along.</description>

			<description>A friend had the excellent idea of making a Google map of bonsai places in France and around.



But so far, the British isles look like a desert   



See the map : Map of Bonsai places in France and around



Yet, it's more convenient for many to cross the Channel than to travel over 1000 km to go to Spain! 



Help me : post a reply in this thread with the name, address, website, etc. of any place related to bonsai.



PS: The colour code on the map goes like that:

Very recently, I spoke with her son Bruce's wife.  Bruce has given-up other responsibilities to care of his mom at her home.  Lynn is no longer able to communicate and is primarily suffering dementia while presently bedridden.  



Close bonsai &amp; stone friends assumed Lynn would recover.  Many know her strength of character and  ...</description>

			<description>I had the extreme honor of being asked to edit Robert's new book and I am happy to say that after much work, I really had a great time doing it. 



Robert's new book gets away from the &quot;how&quot; that is so common and gets into the &quot;why&quot; which is rare in bonsai books, or even on the forums for that matter. He also uses bonsai pictures from many of the forum regulars. 



Hard Cover, 250 pages with over 600 pictures....... Robert certainly did a great job sharing his knowledge  ...</description>
