FANS of miniature trees gathered at the Thorn Inn, Church for their annual meeting and Alan Isherwood (left) and Michael Duffy found this 19-year-old specimen particularly interesting.

Bonsai Club members meet once a month at the pub, in St James' Lane, to discuss their passion for the Japanese art.

Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month and new members are always welcome from 7.30pm.
