Constitution Review
A couple members met to review the Constitution of the Society led by Sharon Laurent to ensure the rules of the society are aligned with being a registered organization. Further details will be brought to members as we make consultations with lawyers.

Barbados Orchid Show - "Orchids Masquerade"
Our Society was well represented at the Barbados Orchid Show by Robin Naipaul, Anthony Tang Kai and Gopaul Chackan. The picture on the right shows our display. We won 4 trophies, a silver certificate from the AOS for our display and an Award of Merit on a cut flower from Anis Baig. Unfortunately the trophies are challenge trophies so they will have to stay in Barbados.

We will like to thank all those members who contributed their beautiful and quality cut flowers for the display!

Further results will be announced at the next meeting.
