Join the Club – Bonsai Club that is.

What are the advantages of joining a club? Please add more in the comments if you can add more advantages.

You share ideas with fellow enthusiasts. This to me is the most important one.
You learn by acquiring new skills and knowledge.
You can add value by teaching others.
You make friends and expand your network.
You can get links to buying tools, pots and other equipment.
You can buy and sell trees.
You can join in field trips to visit other collections.
You can join in on Yamadori hunts.
You have entry to conventions and shows.
You have access to the club’s library.
You can support the club by helping to manage the club.
The advantages by far outweigh the costs which I find are usually quite low.
Most clubs have websites or a presence on Facebook which gives you further exposure to all things Bonsai.
