Award Registration BY AOS
Kenni,
I don't know which Judging Center has jurisdiction in the area where the plants were awarded. There are three Judging centers in Florida. Lucky you. Florida-Caribbean Center has a Miami address. Florida North Central Center has a Jacksonville address Orlando has an Orange Park address. They all have Judging Center Chair names and contact info, phone numbers email addresses, etc. I found a list in the back of Awards Quarterly. It is also published in Orchids Magazine every month (or it used to be). I also found a list online at aos.org Here is a link to a pdf file that the AOS says contains the most current contact info. I would contact the judging chair of the Center closest to wherever the plants were awarded. http://aos.org/aos/judging/documents...lendar_002.pdf I do fries and I slice beef. I also deep fry chicken in a special secret batter known only to Roy Rogers and as far as I know he took it to his grave. If he ever told Trigger or Dale Evans the secret batter ingredients, they never talked, at least not to me. Trigger never did like me much anyway after I..... but that incident is best forgotten. Happy Trails. "Kenni Judd" wrote in message ... K -- You are either missing the point, or deliberately evading the question. Registering with RHS is really EASY, it even takes plastic [no need to wait for cheques to clear]. What the exhibitor who receives a provisional AOS award REALLY needs to know is: Once I get my registration back from RHS, what do I do THEN? WHO do I need to notify that the registration form is back, and HOW do I contact that person? [Presumably, that person will be able to get the exhibitor through the rest of the process. If not, that info should also be included in the instructions I'm asking for.] IF any of that info is on the AOS website, I couldn't find it. My Van. [Rhv.] Ocean Storm 'Juno Beach' HCC/AOS received its provisional award at the Delray Beach OS show, last weekend of October 2004 (as Rhv. Thailand x V. tessellata). The grex was registered with RHS on 11/8/2004 -- within 2 weeks. The progress stopped altogether at that point, till October 2005, when I started blindly asking around, of anyone who might know what needed to happen next, and finally got to Pam Guist, who directed me to someone else, who then forwarded the whole thing to yet another person. Pam Guist finally sent me a bill on 12/23/05, which I paid immediately, she acknowledged receiving the payment 1/4/06, claiming that the award certificate would be mailed during the week of 1/9. I don't have it yet. Ctph. [Smbcna.] Garnet Glory was provisionally awarded on the fourth Saturday in June 2001 (as Ctna. Why Not x Schomb. thomsoniana); registered with RHS July 17, 2001 -- within 3 weeks. Same story, nothing happened on AOS' part till I started asking around months later, again blindly, and was finally pointed to the right person to get it moving. At this late date, I don't remember exactly when I finally got the award certificate, but it was no earlier than June 2002, I think more like August or September. Kenni "K Barrett" wrote in message ... You don't have to send anything anywhere. To quote Glinda the Good Witch, You've had the power all along. The instructions for a CBR/CHM is on the AOS webpage, as is the list of AOS appoved taxonomists and the instructions on getting an unnamed hybrid registered. You have to follow the links on the AOS homepage to the RHS webpage for their form for registering a cross. All it takes is a little dedication on your part.

It's been different both times I tried to get an award registered, but in each case, it's been extremely onerous compared to the RHS registration process. Each has taken numerous follow-up calls and/or email messages on my part, and taken more than a year. Written instructions would be at least a start on remedying this problem. If you write them up, I want a copy for myself and I think I can make sure they are given out at the WPB judging center [which happens to be AOS HQ]. You'll take care of it in your area, maybe K will do it in hers, and the rest of the country will have to fend for itself G. Kenni |
