The March meeting is the Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Redditch Bonsai Society. This is a key occasion where members come together to review the past year’s activities, finances, and developments, and to discuss plans and priorities for the year ahead. Participation helps shape the direction of the society and ensures all voices are heard in governance matters.
Following the formal AGM, the meeting will transition into a Bring and Buy/Auction. Members are encouraged to bring any bonsai-related items they no longer need — trees, pots, tools, books, or accessories — to sell or swap with other enthusiasts. This is a great way to recycle materials, discover new additions for your collection, and support fellow members.
The Bring and Buy/Auction is open to all members, and everyone is welcome to participate either as a seller or buyer. Items should be clearly labelled with any relevant information, and members are asked to ensure items are in good condition and suitable for other enthusiasts.
This meeting is an ideal opportunity to engage with the wider RBS community, ask questions about society operations, and exchange tips, advice, and resources. Even if you do not plan to buy or sell, attending the AGM and Bring and Buy/Auction allows you to stay informed and connected.
Please remember to bring any items you would like to sell, along with cash or a payment method for purchases. While no formal tools are required for the AGM, a notebook and pen may be useful for taking notes during the discussion.
All members are encouraged to attend. If you have questions about the AGM agenda or Bring and Buy items, please email chair@redditchbonsai.co.uk or secretary@redditchbonsai.co.uk.
