The Conference Show Schedule is slowly coming together and should be approved by the Western Australian Judges Panel and the AOC shortly.

The Early Bird Registration details are being put together as I write and will be circulated via these Bulletins, and posted on the 19th AOC Conference web site by June this year.

Look for our promotion booth and display at the 20th WOC in Singapore which will be manned by members of the 19th AOC Conference Committee. Come and have a chat. Further information regarding all our latest happenings can be accessed on the 19th AOC Conference website.

We urge all orchid societies to feel free to reprint this Bulletin, and anything else from our web site, in your club newsletters.
Should you have any queries or questions regarding the 19th AOC Conference, feel free to contact the Chairman, the Secretary, or the Webmaster.
