Unforunately I'm not a member of a club. Where I live ( in the Adirondack mountains ) I'm sort of cutoff from the general bonsai practising groups. The nearest club is over in Vermont, the green mountain bonsai club.
While I used to live in VT, (hence the name) I no can no longer really travel so far away for club meetings. I did try to start up a bonsai club in my area, but I'm afraid there is little interest and I'm not sure how to advietise it effectively. I know there is talent out here in the mountains; I was an arborist when I first got here and I was told rumprs of a man with a collection of trees. I never got specifics.
I don't really think I'd be qualified to run any sort of organisation, although if I had some pledges from interestees and genuine effort and support, I might be able to pull it off.
Although with my rather slim finances at the moment, I don't know how practical it would be. Winter time for a nursery man is killer. And finding alternate jobs up here is excruciating and infuriating.
