Western Suburbs Orchid Society (WSOS) of Sydney meets from 7pm for an 7:45pm start on the third Monday of each month at the Uniting Church Hall, Carrington Avenue, Strathfield, Sydney. Everyone is welcome whether you're a beginner or an expert.
NOTE: CHANGE OF VENUE
Due to renovations, we have moved to the Uniting Church at corner of Meredith and Burlington Sts, Homebush for the April and May meetings ONLY.
We're a friendly crowd and discuss everything related to orchids, with different events each month. Members bring their flowering orchids and enter them in the monthly benching competition. See the Gallery page for the President's picks from last month's entries. Our larger gallery of all the photos we've ever taken is located at www.flickr.com/photos/wsos/ and is updated regularly.
We publish a monthly bulletin for members, and you can read last month's issue here.
