Where?
| Meeting are held at our new venue, Sadberge Village Hall. This is just off the A66 heading east towards Teeside about half a mile from the main round-a-bout of the A66 Darlington Ring Road. |  |
|
When?
We meet every month on the SECOND WEDNESDAY evening at 7-00pm. |
What Happens?
 | Meeting are very informal. After any announcements about forthcoming events, the main topic of the evening will be a talk or display of orchids by either a member or an invited guest. On most evenings some members will bring along a few orchids to show. It could be to show them off or it could be to ask for answers to cultivation problems. After refreshments a talk is given about the plants on display. We always have plants for sale. Coming events -
