Great turnout this Sunday at the Dragons den

I think everyone seems to be over the festive season and raring to go, there were 12 of us working on Sunday, here is a taste of what was going on
This is a nice field grown Hornbeam





This tree was grown by Glyn and Bryn ( thats Glyn on the left) and is now owned by Kelvin ( thats him on the right)



The tree was discussed, re angled and a plan worked out, Kelvin wanted to keep the tall image, there is a shorter tree in there if he had wanted

So Kelvin set to work to remove the leaves so some cut could be made







Wiring and branch placement next so I will try to update you when he brings it in next

Regards Chris

Gerwyn and John worked on some Tridant's One big one and a few that have been cut back and in the early stage of becoming showin

John Harris tweeked 2 of his stunning Larch

I always enjoy the Dragon posts Chris. I'm hoping to come and visit on Sunday if i can get out of the DIY decorating hell Im in at the moment..

Hi Ian, thanks for the reply, and yes its great day at the workshops and not to cold at the moment

Regards Chris

You guys always have some great material to work with!!!

And great turn out!!

Hi Bryan and thanks for the reply
THe turn out is between 6 and 12 each week which by some club standards might not seem high, but when you think that the membership never exceeds 20 its a good hard core of members.
Next week we will be looking at getting a grip of what we well do at Swindon this year as well as working on trees that goes without saying.

Regards Chris
