This meeting will be great, full of things to see and do. Items on the agenda to look forward to include; · Plant sales · Giveaways · Raffles · Auctions · Popular Vote Competition (bring your favourite velvet leaf Anthurium hybrid) · Q & A with Steve Flood · Networking opportunities and friends to make · Leanne and Cat’s famous supper snacks! The AGM is one of the most important meetings of the year for the society as this is where the old committee is dissolved and the swearing in of the new committee. As this is official business, any member who is unable to attend can you please send an apology to secretary@aroids.net for your absence to be noted in the AGM minutes. We are very excited to again welcome back Steve Flood who will be able to help answer any questions you have about growing Aroids. Questions can be emailed to queensland-south@aroids.net or feel free to ask them on the night!  This meeting’s best popular vote competition theme is “Anthurium velvet leaf Hybrids”. There is currently an influx across Australia of fabulous velvets floating around in collections with some including striking crystalline veins and or jet black foliage!  If you have questions or requests regarding this event, please let us know by emailing queensland-south@aroids.net before the event. We hope to see you there! Best regards,

Vale Judy Allen The ASA committee would like to inform members of the passing of Judy Allen the week before last. Judy was a founding member along with being the society’s inaugural secretary and later spent time coordinating the suppers at our SEQ meet ups. Without people like Judy the ASA would plain and simply not exist. Our thoughts go out to George and the Girls through this difficult time. ASA Committee
