Chelsea 2022

Dear all,

The OSGB is exhibiting at RHS Chelsea Flower Show next month

The dates of the show are 24–27 May, 8am to 8pm; 28 May 8am to 5:30pm

Build-up 19–22 May; Break-down 28 May

No display is possible without members' orchids, so please lend us your plants – each one will make a difference.

Email displays@osgb.org.uk to make arrangements. We can collect and return plants.

If you'd like to help with the display build or man the stand during the show, please email displays@osgb.org.uk without delay.

Places are limited and are offered to members only.

Table Shows

Dear all,

as mentioned earlier on multiple occasions, once again, please accept my apologies for all the delays with the table shows.

The September/October is now published with the results and I am working on catching up with the following winter months ASAP

Please, also from now on could you email your entries to a new address - tableshow@osgb.org.uk

This will make the process more smooth, entries easier to see and hopefully soon I will be able to persuade someone to help with collating, resizing and publishing - one day hopefully taking the Table Show entirely so then I have time to work on all other areas of the website.

If you think you have the time and skills to help please do let me know. Someone to file and resize all of the sent images would already be a massive help leaving only the uploading process to myself.

OSGB Spring Show

Dear all,

After a long hiatus, we’re pleased to announce that our annual spring show takes place on

Saturday 7 May at the Halsey Masonic Hall, Rickmansworth Road, Watford WD18 0JL.

Doors open at 09:30 and all plants entries need to be in place for judging at 11:00. The show is also

open to non-members. Members are welcome to sell orchids and/or companion greenhouse

plants (10% of proceeds to the Society). Refreshments will be available, and the show will

close at 16:00. Plants should be collected by 16:30.

The hall is 15min walk from either Watford Junction mainline station or Watford station

on the Metropolitan line. You can also use local bus routes from these stations. If you’re

coming by car, it is accessible from the M25, M1, A1, A41 and North Circular. Note that

there is limited parking on-site, so please make use of the multi-storey public car park (£1 an

hour) two minutes walk away.

We look forward to seeing you and your orchids!
