Presidents report

Our next meeting is on Monday 5th October 2015. Hope all are fit and well, if sick hope you will be fine soon. Bunnings BBQ Saturday 24th October 2015. Batemans Bay Primary School completed a colouring competition for our Orchid Club for the Conference / Orchid Show.4 Kindergarten classes were involved. Our committee judged all the colouring pictures and we awarded 1st, 2nd & 3rd in the each class group. Our committee decided to award the 12 winners with a $20-00 gift voucher from Smiggle at the Village Centre. The $200-00 donated by Kate Willis along with an extra $200-00 donation from our club, was handed to the Kindergarten section prior to the School Holidays. Once again thank you very much, Kate Willis. We will not be having a Guest Speaker for October, we thought this might be a good chance to talk about our Conference/Show. At this stage the committee is thinking of holding our Xmas Party on Thursday 19th November 2015 at the Botanic Gardens at Batemans Bay for lunch. The cost for our Xmas party lunch is $26.50, the committee thought as we have had a successful year it would be nice just to charge our members $10-00 each and our club will pay the extra. If the members would like to bring along guests the charge for non- members will be $15-00. Please let Margaret know if you wish to attend. It would be appreciated if all members can be at the Soldiers Club at 10am on the Friday 2nd of October to help set up for the Conference / Show (Many hands make light work).

November meeting, think about if you wish to have plant benching on the same night as our AGM. November AGM, Orchid only auction, then our AGM, this night is your chance to stand for the committee as all positions will be declared vacant, if all positions are not full we may not have an Orchid Club for 2016 to return to. What we do require is Cymbidium Flower Spikes from our members to make posies for our next Conference/ Show, If flowers are not in show condition for Conference / Show would you please drop off to Robert & Sue’s

house Tuesday 29th September, that is the week leading up to the Conference / Show. Not all flowers on the spikes need to be good. Thanks to all Robert Fish President.
