There are three shows staged each year, the winter show in August at Twyford Hall Merimbula, the spring show at the Bega Town Hall in September and an Australian Native Orchid show at Twyford Hall in November. This latter show displays the seldom seen Sarcochilus orchids which are endemic to Australia, living in the ravines and rainforest gulleys

Social activities such as visiting local grower’s orchid houses and bush walks to see native orchids in the wild as well as workshops keep members well informed.

The Club is affiliated with the Orchid Society of NSW and the Australian Orchid Council.  These bodies organise shows at State and National level and train and regulate judges and standards.   The more experienced growers may attend judging courses to become accredited judges.

The club meets on the last Thursday of each month, except December.  Meetings are held in the CWA rooms, Church Street Bega. Our meetings give members a chance to show what they have in flower and it gives other members a chance to see a great variety of plants.

Members wishing to display plants put them on the bench at 7:00pm. The meeting begins at 7:30 pm. Members have an opportunity to inspect the displayed plants and vote for their favourite, whilst accredited judges make their assessment.  Business is kept to a minimum to allow plenty of time for the guest speaker and for members to chat.  New members and visitors are always made welcome. The meeting ends over a cuppa.
