How to Make an AGM Enjoyable

Our October meeting will be held on Wednesday, 5th October, 2022

Although it is our Annual General Meeting (AGM), we know how to make it exciting and ensure our members and potential new members have a great night. After the AGM (we keep it quick and simple), we know how to enliven the meeting.

  • We hold an in-house auction for our members, to purchase some interesting, versatile and different orchids, which can both challenge and enhance existing collections.
  • For those who wish to donate plants for the auction, please ensure that they are of a high quality and standard and of a named variety of orchid (i.e. no ‘unknowns’)
  • Both credit card and cash sales are welcome!

When:  Wednesday 5th October, 2022– 7.30 p.m. start
Where: N.G.Wishart Senior Citizens Hall, 964 Nepean Hwy, Moorabbin. (Melways Ref. Map 77: D6)

  • Visitors and interested guests are always welcome, so remember to bring a friend – bring many!
