Midland and Redditch Bonsai Societies Release Free February 2026 Newsletter PDF

Please find below and attached the February 2026 Edition of the Midland Bonsai Society (MBS) and Redditch Bonsai Society (RBS) Newsletter which is available completely for FREE as a PDF Download at the bottom of this page. The February 2026 edition is presented as a joint MBS & RBS newsletter and the page carries the headings REDDITCH BONSAI and EDITOR’S REMARKS, with the downloadable file labelled “Feb 2026 – MBS & RBS NewsletterDownload.”

The newsletter’s events slate calls out the MBS meeting on 5th February and explicitly states, “The MBS meeting on 5th February also features a Re-potting and Root pruning workshop.” That line appears under the site section COMING UP AT THE MBS and signals a clear practical focus for February programming. An additional source fragment provided with the newsletter materials reads “including a re-potting workshop on 19 Febr” but is truncated; this 19 Febr reference is not completed on the Midland Bonsai page and remains unverified within the posted newsletter text.

Governance and site maintenance receive attention in the Editor’s Remarks. The page quotes directly: “We are pleased to tell you that steps are being taken to bring the MBS website up to date.” The remarks name David Attwood as “your new chairman” and record that “David Attwood, your new chairman, has formed a sub-committee of ‘younger’ members to oversee this project.” The editor adds that “Some improvements have already been made so have a look at them. More news in due course. [...]” indicating ongoing work on the society web presence.

Weather and recent cancellations are addressed candidly in the newsletter text. The Editor’s Remarks warn readers with the line, “Let’s hope that this meeting and the Redditch meeting are not affected by the weather as the MBS January event was.” The same section defends the earlier decision, adding, “We hope that you will all agree that the decision to cancel that meeting was the right one in the circumstances!” The site’s Related Posts area also lists a historical cancellation titled “CANCELLED – This Evening’s Meeting (Thursday 8th January),” providing context for the January disruption.

For members wanting full details, the newsletter reiterates that the February 2026 edition is free to download: “available completely for FREE as a PDF Download at the bottom of this page.” Check the Midland Bonsai Society and Redditch Bonsai Society pages for the attached PDF and for the site improvements referenced by David Attwood’s sub-committee. Given the truncated “19 Febr” fragment in the supplied materials, verify February workshop dates and Redditch meeting times against the downloadable PDF or the societies’ event calendars to confirm whether additional repotting clinics are scheduled beyond the listed 5th February session.
