Thanks for the info,Blue.Does the journal also have a section with adverts from nurseries and collectors proposing interesting or unusual conifers? T.

Im a BCS member I think a lot of BCS members
don't know about this website.

Or maybe they know Resin...hee hee. T.

tunilla - nurseries can place adverts - if you are a member, and anything conifer related.
blueyew - I guess we are the only two BCS members on this forum, seems very peculiar to me why that is so.
It will be interesting to see how many of our American friends respond to this post, people keep telling me they are an insular nation and the majority have no interest outside their own country - but I don't believe that for one minute.

Are you sure Blue...the society will blame you when all us uncivilized Americans show up for for the big annual meeting.
We'll eat all the food and talk out of turn!

Can we Stay at your house? heehee

Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Membership Form

Barbara, we don't do big annual meetings, only small ones, we only have about 160 members. If you want to join of course you can stay at my house, we have a very small bathroom though, just ask Bill Barger.

Sweet. Invitation accepted. I hope to make it to Europe this summer. It's all tentative though.

Dax

Didn't realize your name was Barbara, Dax :0)
No Americans interested in joining then, not even showing any curiosity in the journal we produce, I can only assume that you're all not as passionate about conifers as I am ?

pshaw ... old chap ...

2 reasons i will defer ...

2 kids.. no disposable $$$$ .. $30 is 1 to 6 conifers i can not buy ...

second ... i probably wouldnt be able to grow half the things featured ... this is one thing i find frustrating about the ACS journal ...

its not that the world should revolve around my garden .. its just envy ... which is a deadly sin ...

happy holidays .....

Kenny , sell off a small piece of your five acres for development.... you don't really need that much, then you can afford it!

i would sell one of the kids.. before i sold a part of the garden ...

NOT REALLY ... lol

Thanks bluespruce,

I am always interested in what the other folks across the pond are doing with regard to conifer collecting and welcome the opportunity to enteract with them.

As soon as I get back home, i'm in California for the holidays, I will be sending the application to Christine Battle BCS Membership Secretary to become a member.

Dave

Well done Dave,
Send the application to;

Dilly Bradley
Little Yarford Farmhouse
Kingston St Mary
Taunton, TA2 8AN
England.

It's an old application form on the web site, Dilly Bradley is our new membership secretary.

So, I think we will be signing up Dave and Kim, are there any more takers ? I'm thinking of donating a mystery prize if we can recruit any more members.

BlueStephen....When you so generously sent Kim and I a Conifer book as a prize, I decided to join also...just haven't followed through yet.

New Years resolutions:

Return phone calls, emails, complete and mail forms in a timely manner.
Keep voice mail, inbox, and postal mail cleaned up and organized.
Schedule online bill payments with 'Bill Pay' when the invoice arrives

The same every year!

Barbara

Hi,
I would like to join the BCS, but the link to the website is down. Does anyone know if the contact address shown in this thread is still the same?

thanks

They only appear to have a facebook page now; try this address.

Resin

They're sending a big group to the 2015 ACS meeting...
