ANOS Spring Show
Melbourne, Australia
The Victorian branch of the Australian Native Orchid Society (ANOS) is having their Spring Show 27 & 28 September. If you are in the Melbourne area you should pencil it in to your diary. Not being a member, all I know is what's at the link below. I will be there taking lots of photos as usual, and posting them in a.b.p.orchids as usual. http://www.anos.org.au/groups/anosvi...s_calendar.htm PS. Its Spider and Donkey Orchid time in south-eastern Australia so head into your nearest forest or reserve and see what you can find. |

There is a photography section in the show and a number of members prefer looking rather than growing so you should fit in with the crowd. For more details on the show, Saturday 27th to Sunday 28th September, open 9am-4pm. Mt Waverley Community Centre 47 Miller Cresent, Mt Waverley (opposite Mt Waverley train station) Melway Ref 70 E1 Admission: Adults $4 Concession $3, under 16 and members (wear your name tag) free. There's usually a wide variety of terrestrials and epiphytes on display. The speciosums are going crazy this year so expect to see a lot on display. |

I presume if you join up on the day you get in free but you may want to ask at the front desk. Membership is $24 for singles and families. You can get an electronic membership for $18 ie. the monthly bulletin is sent as a ~1Mb pdf file via email instead of in the post. The emailed bulletin is in colour and arrives around a week earlier than the b&w printed version but you do need to make sure your account can receive such large files. A word of advice if you're planning on joining, outside of the monthly society meetings there are a number of special interest groups within the society that meet up each month. The terrestrial study group regularly goes on field trips to see orchids in situ. Given your interest in observing and photographing orchids, you may get a lot out of becoming involved with that group. There's no extra cost in becoming involved in these groups other than personal expenses (petrol, food, etc). Maybe ask at the desk to be pointed to someone who could tell you more. Andrew Dilley usually co-ordinates the group but there should be a number of other people at the show who could tell you more. |

Thanks for the info. I'd be an electronic member because I am pretty much
paperless and completely digital as it is. I'll enquire on the day. "Andrew" wrote in message om... I'm pretty sure you can join on the day.
