We had a wonderful night at Piazza Vercelli on Thursday 17th August to celebrate 25 years since the formation of Southern Suburbs Orchid Society, (SSOS), a member of the Orchid Societies Council of Victoria (OSCOV).

Our esteemed guests for the night were Julian Coker, the founding President and now Patron of OSCOV; and his wife and business partner Frances; who were able to join us, as was their son and current OSCOV President Michael Coker. Julian was also a founding member of SSOS and several other Victorian clubs.

We also took advantage of the 25th Anniversary occasion to award our esteemed original SSOS member Robert Harrison, with an OSCOV Medal for his outstanding contribution to our Club over the past 25 years. Bob joined in December 1992 and has been a committee member for over 20 years.

• Further information is available on our What’s On page about our 25th Anniversary Celebration.
