We provide members with a varied programme of events throughout the year which includes talks by experts, practical sessions as well as more informal gatherings to simply meet other people who are passionate about orchids. We welcome suggestions for future meetings. For full information on where we meet, including directions, see our Meetings page.
Please note that this programme may be subject to change. If you intend to travel any distance to one of our meetings, please contact us in advance to confirm arrangements. For Edinburgh meetings contact Robert Jones (0131 445 2745) and for Glasgow meetings contact Alan Mackenzie (07802 796789).

Zoom Meetings
It is appreciate that not everybody is not able to travel to Edinburgh or Glasgow so in addition, we hold regular online meetings via Zoom throughout the year. These are usually held on a Tuesday or Thursday evening starting at 7:30pm. Society members can join these meetings from 7:15 pm onwards and details of how to log on are sent separately to members by email in advance of the meeting.
Other Events
We also exhibit at other orchid shows throughout the UK and any that we are displaying at are listed below. This is a good way of raising the profile of the Society as well as meeting other like minded enthusiasts. Other significant orchid shows in the UK are also listed.
The British Orchid Council (BOC) arrange Judging Symposia on a regular basis (usually twice a year) where both accredited BOC judges and trainees practice their skills. These events are also listed. For more information on the BOC Judging Scheme, please follow this link.
