raffle and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all those members who
have donated generously to make this raffle a beauty.
On the 2015 subject – the AOC Darwin conference of that year has been
abandoned and has been taken on by the Qld. Tropical orchid group and
will be in Mackay from 19th to 24th September. Unfortunately this will be
the exact same dates as our spring show that year but doesn’t clash with
our conference.

Christmas Party 2013. 56 members and guests enjoyed a wonderful meal provided by the
caterers interspersed by a great raffle with excellent prizes kindly
donated by members. As the Patron wasn’t able to attend the evening,
a message to members was read by the president. The president then
thanked members who have contributed to the smooth running of the
club this year and reminded patrons that the AGM is fast approaching.
This was followed by an entertaining slide show and talk by Janice Miller on a recent trip to China and Vietnam.
Thanks Janice.
A special plant auction concluded the evening with some very special plants being sourced for this activity by
David Woolf. Special thanks to those who donated.
The proceeds of this activity (over $400) will go to the 2015 Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

2015 Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. The Feasibility Working Group has fulfilled its commitment and at a meeting on 8th of
December 2013 was disbanded. The date, venue and feasibility that our club can
achieve a conference in 2015 has been established.
Date;- Setup Thursday 22nd July 2015, 2 day conference/show – 23rd & 24th of July 2015. The reasoning behind
these dates is to give societies and vendors a clear 2 weeks before and after to attend other shows already
planned.
Venue;- USQ Berghofer Recreation Centre. Two venues being considered were Berghofer Pavilion at the show
grounds and the USQ venue. While being somewhat more expensive the USQ venue was chosen as it is better
situated, fit for purpose in catering, heating and with suitable lecture rooms.
At this stage an official icon has not been formalised – suggestions accepted.
The next stage will require Planning/Working groups to achieve a successful outcome in July 2015. Please
consider where you may be able to help.
The breakdown of these working groups required is as follows;-
Vendor/Display/Judging Coordination group.
Organise vendors – suggest approximately 10 orchid vendors and 6 alternative vendors.
