We have a bamboo plant that is now a spectacular 15 feet high. It's

shoots as it growing over the path. At what time of year is best to
do this and whereabouts on the plant in relation to the "joints"?
As
you can tell, I'm no gardener :-) and don't want to ruin the plant.
Thank you.

Just chop 'em out, any time, anywhere on the plant. If you want to
cut roots out to propagate the plant, I think you do it in March (?).
