If you didn’t go and watch Bob last time, I probably need to tell you than he is an absolute master artist at this basket thing. I am just gob smacked at how easy he makes it look and what an amazingly neat and tidy result he gets. I copy his methods studiously but somehow mine don’t seem to look the same. See if you can figure it out. The main meeting commences at 8pm. After the tea break, our very special guest speaker will be Jody Cutajar whose topic will be “My Brazilian Orchid Odyssey”.

Society Secretary I do hope that everyone had a good Holiday and were able to do some happy things as Roberta Fox best as we could. We certainly need some happy times. Membership Secretary Barbara Livingston It has been a very tough year, one that we could not have never imagined back in Janu- ary of 2020.
