New Growers Report.
The new growers had the pleasure of having their August meeting at the home of Jan and Trevor
Rawlings on Saturday the 31st. Jan and Trevor have a very interesting garden and orchid
collection and this is how the afternoon started with the members enjoying the first part of the
afternoon looking over the garden and orchid collection.
Afternoon tea was next on the agenda with ribs well packed with goodies we proceeded with the
troubled plant discussion. Members with concerns were able to receive answers to their problems
with all of the members having some involvement.
We were able to talk on how best to set up a display at the show and how important it is to have
the display laid out so that it will gain the judges attention.
Those present were able to call on the experience of Terry Dean and Ken and Rosie Smith for
their ideas.
Berry Munro donated a bundle of past copies of “Orchids Australia” to be distributed amongst
the members present and they were gratefully accepted.
One of the copies had an article by Terry on judging at the show, so he was able to give the
members first hand knowledge on the procedure. Thanks Terry much appreciated.
The afternoon raffle then took place giving some lucky people a plant or two to add to their
collections.
My sincere thanks to Trevor and Jan for having us again this year, also thanks to all who donated
to the raffle and helping in any way to make the afternoon so enjoyable.
The next meeting will be held on Saturday the 28th
of September at the home of Pat and
Owen March. Their address is 123 Lion Creek Road, next door to the net ball courts and park.
Please bring the usual plate and some thing to sit on.

On The Lighter Side.
A conscientious minister who wanted to get acquainted with a new family in his congregation
called on them one evening. After (56) knocking on the door, a lilting voice came from within; “is
that you angel?” “No,” replied the minister “but I’m from the same department.”
Women are like phones, they like to be held, talked to and touched often BUT, push the wrong
button and you’re sure to be disconnected.

Members Take Note.
If you have an orchid that you are considering pointing up for an award: First have it looked at
by 2 judges to see if it’s considered suitable. If the judges agree on the plants suitability for an
award, the registrar (Frank Mollenhaur) must be notified and given 48 hours notice. The panel of
judges will then be selected. As we had one awarded plant (Award given by 5 accredited judges)
vetoed for not notifying the registrar in the required time frame, make sure it’s done.
That I have been told was my fault but I must admit it was a rule that I was unaware of, to those
