Details
Membership is annual, with the membership year running from January 1 through to December 31. New Membership fees are: Single $20, Family (same address) $30
Included in the membership dues is an eight page newsletter each month (except January) which contains information about coming events, judging results from meetings and shows, cultural advice and photographs of members’ plants from the benches. The newsletter is available electronically or by regular mail (to see past copies go to the Articles page).
Other popular activities include our auction night in August, our Presentation Dinner and our annual Christmas Party. Society members also receive a discount voucher for Bishops Seed and Produce, South Nowra, which stocks most orchid growing supplies. All this and friendship, fun and good times, too.
