HIGHLIGHTS

Summary of April Meeting
The April meeting was a social event that did not have any formal presentation. Instead it was an excellent opportunity to catch up with other enthusiasts to discuss plants and related matters. There were some interesting plants brought in for display and also for sale.
The general meeting of 12th June will include a photo exhibition. Please start putting aside copies of your best photos now for this event. Another desired outcome from this will be the selection of photos for the proposed calendar for 2016 that the Society plans to put together. So get out there and keep taking photos of these wonderful plants.

The leading plants in the competition were N. maxima x bicalcarata and S. psittacina, with the Nepenthes taking top honours.

Summary of the March Meeting
The March meeting was an interesting event with many excellent plants on show and for sale. More progress has been made in reactivating the Society’s PayPal account. Thanks Terry and Wesley for following this up.

Laurie Dorfer gave a comprehensive talk on carnivorous bromeliads and had flowering plants of Brocchinia reducta and Catopsis berteroniana for show. This group of carnivorous plants is neither well known nor widely grown in Australia.

HIGHLIGHTS:

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ON 12th FEBRUARY
The meeting of 12th February Is the Annual General Meeting when all positions of the current executive are made vacant. Please consider nominating for one of the positions. This is a Society run by, and on behalf of volunteers. If everyone was able to chip in and donate a little time to help with various tasks it would make a big difference; there are other people able to provide guidance, if required. Please give this some reflection. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
