24.01.2022 OSCOV has started a fabulous new initiative OSCOV Insights! The first issue is now available for you to enjoy, by reading about activities that OSCOV and its member societies have been up to lately. The full issue can be found here: https://oscov.asn.au/

21.01.2022 Congratulations now to NEMOS on successfully staging a virtual Spring Show. This has been the next in OSCOV Member Societies achieving member engagement despite the impact of covid. OSCOV is financially supporting our member societies in staging virtual Shows, and looks forward to more being held in the Victorian orchid community. Here is a link to the Champions: https://www.facebook.com/North-East-Melbourne-Orchid-Society-NEMOS-474298172703675

20.01.2022 Planning for the 2021 OSCOV Show continues steadily. Invitations to Vendors and Clubs to participate in this year's event are being prepared and should be dispatched in the next few days. The OSCOV Executive is hopeful that covid-19 restrictions will be sufficiently eased by late-August for this great event to be able to be staged in a manner broadly similar to previous years. The 2020 Annual OSCOV Dinner, which would have been held in conjunction with the 2020 OSCOV Show, was postponed - but OSCOV hopes that this will be able to be held in the next few months. Stay tuned for more details!

13.01.2022 The schedule of OSCOV Member Societies' Shows for 2021 has now been published: https://oscov.asn.au/orchid-shows/. Fingers crossed that covid doesn't interrupt the smorgasbord of orchid delights that our Member Societies have in store for you all in 2021!

12.01.2022 Full details of the winners of the OSCOV Victorian Orchids of the Year 2020 are now available on the OSCOV website (please enjoy!): https://oscov.asn.au/vo/victorian-orchids-of-the-year-2020/

08.01.2022 Congratulations to Southern Suburbs Orchid Society on successfully staging a virtual Spring Show. This has been a great initiative and has significantly enhanced member engagement during these covid times when 'in person' Shows can't be held. OSCOV is financially supporting our member societies in staging virtual Shows, and looks forward to more being held in the Victorian orchid community. Here is a link to the results of the Show: https://ssosvorchids.com/2020/09/23/its-awesome/

05.01.2022 It's really sad, but this weekend, we would have been preparing for the 2020 OSCOV Show. How about instead - everyone post a picture of the one orchid you'd have loved to put into the Show. I'll be first - here is Paphiopedilum Village Passport 'Julian'.

01.01.2022 The 2020 OSCOV AGM was held today. As well as the great OSCOV initiatives discussed the new Executive was announced. Terry Stiles takes over as President, and the other members are: Michael J. Coker (Immediate Past President), Barry Larkin (Vice President), Elena Stiles (Secretary), Alan Baker (Treasurer), Marita Anderson (Assistant Secretary), Gordon Young (Liaison Officer), Andre Cleghorn (Conservation Officer), and General Committee members Stephen Early, Karin Balogh, Denis Oliver & Murray Harding. Julian Coker is the Patron, and Glenda Coutts is our ex officio Registrar. This is a very strong Executive and will lead OSCOV into the future.
