Mike,
I doubt Boon knows anything about the club being written about here. I have heard him discuss the issues associated with clubs and the frequent lack of knowledge about fundamental needs of bonsai trees, fundamental techniques and in tree design. If you can't learn to wire at your club and you can't learn fundamental techniques, what is the point? A good time, great, but if you want to learn how to make bonsai, then not so fine. As somone who is involved with two clubs, it is interesting to see the differences in commitment and activities and the profound differences in outcomes.
So, a number of us here have studied, and some continue to study, with Boon. Me, 9+ years. Don't insult someone you don't even know, he doesn't deserve it. You certainly don't have the bonsai chops to do it.
Want to improve your bonsai, pick a teacher and stick with them. In your area Vance Wood has a long and distinguished record of making very nice trees. He can teach you a lot. Listening to the internet noise about how to do bonsai will not result in improved trees. Want to see how fast a good teacher can help you make good trees? Look at Judy, Adair, Jrob, October, chrisi, etc., etc., etc. only one of them has worked extensively with Boon. Pick a teacher and learn. Please don't ask Boon to help you.
