Hi
Well, what an exciting month this is shaping up to be. The Spring show is almost upon us.
(Smell those Speciosums already) Lots of people have been hard at work promoting and
organising this so let’s all as a club get involved it promises to be a lot of fun and well
worth the effort.
Speaking of having fun and being well worth the effort, how many of the club got to the
Challenge. Wasn’t it fabulous? The effort that went in to the displays and range of plants
was stupendous. Not to mention wallet draining, well, for me anyway. I would have liked
to stay overnight and attend the dinner as I have done before but circumstances didn’t al-
low for that, so I missed out on the fun bit. Never mind Bunbury is hosting next year so
hopefully, I’ll make up for it then.
On the list of coming events for the Society is the Sarc Display in October which is now go-
ing to be held at Centrepoint being as the Forum have been taken over by new manage-
ment who seem than co-operative. I am hoping that my Sarc’s will have pulled their col-
lectives out and will be in flower by then. It will be a first time me to show off my babies
so look out, Rick. (joking, of course.)
Had a lovely day Saturday 15th at John Palmer's field day. If you missed it you missed
some great orchids and some excellent pizzas. Thank-you to John and Sandy for opening
their orchid houses and pizzeria to all of us.
For Sale—Speciosiums in bud and flower, please contact Judy on 0427 310 146
Just a reminder to everyone, because of the Spring Show, there is no meeting for Septem-
ber.
Anyone who can help out with providing food and/or helping in the kitchen at the Spring
Show please call Margaret Nelson on 9734 3132 after hours.
