The Society has implemented a more structured process for benching of orchids at its general meetings.
For each plant being benched members are asked to complete a benching card identifying
the class of the plant, its name and the members name, and place this with their plant in
the marked area for that class. Plant classes will be fixed
for all meetings so cards can be prefilled or cards will be available for completing at the meeting.
The plant classes do not distinguish between species and hybrids and provides
additional classes for novice growers and a class for junior:
In other respects the classes follow fairly closely the classifications used for our show (see Definitions 2019 show) and in Appendix 1 of our book.
The benching cards can be downloaded here:
The cards allow for plant number to be entered by the marshal. An example of a completed card:
From the February meeting members will have the option of voting electronically
(paper forms still available). The voting form will be accessed by smart phone simply by using the camera function to scan a qr code. Further information is in the January February Bulletin. Back to top ⇑
