Greetings all,

Sorry about the lack of a July newsletter but:
a.) there wasn't much to put in it 
b.) I used up a lot of my spare time to create the NZCPS Christchurch Branch website 

This month, however, there is quite a lot to report.  

NZCPS  Christchurch Branch Website

If you've got internet access, be sure to check out http://nzcps.treshna.com          

Meeting updates, CP links, newsletter archives and current seedbank stock are now online and pages for     
CP buy/sell/exchange as well as a locally grown plant database should be available shortly. If you would
like to place a CP-related buy/sell/exchange ad then please feel free to do so, as it is a free service.
Mailed, emailed, phoned and carrier-pigeoned ads are all fine. Also, if people could please contribute to
the database it would be much appreciated. Hopefully once a few more people have contributed to the
database, we will all have a better idea of which species are grown locally and who grows them. All that
is required is a list of all the species that you grow, along with the likelihood of each species being available
for sale or exchange (eg highly likely, moderately or unlikely). 

For those without internet access, never fear, the newsletter will continue to be mailed and hardcopies of the
plant database will be available to those who send a stamped, self-addressed envelope, once the database 
has a respectable number of contributors.

If you do have internet access and find that receiving a newsletter is just a case of wasting trees, please let me 
know and I'll take you off the hard-copy mailing list. 

Library

The NZCPS Christchurch branch now has the beginnings of a small library. The books will be available 
at meetings and may be borrowed for one month for the princely sum of $2.00. Titles obtained so far include:

The Savage Garden by Peter D'Amato

Carnivorous Plants by Adrian Slack 

Carnivorous Plants of Australia Volume 3 by Allen Lowrie 

Exotic Plant Show

The EPS 2001 is scheduled for the Saturday and Sunday of Labour Weekend, although confirmation that there
are sufficient exhibitors is still a week or so away. 

MEETINGS

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 26th September at 8:00pm and will be held in the Christchurch 
YMCA conference room.

Important bits regarding seed: 
- When ordering seed, make sure you include an S.A.E. 
- Seed costs $1.00 per packet. 
- Cheques should be made out to NZCPS-Christchurch Branch.
- If you wish to donate seed, please put the harvest date on it and ensure that
it is free of floral parts - this will make the job of the seed-bank director
that much easier. Once any donated seed has been divided up into saleable 
packets you will be credited with 1 packet of free seed for every 3 packets 
that result from your donation. 

Seed orders and donations should be sent to:
Fern Norton
Seed Bank Director 
P.O. Box 7 Sefton 
North Canterbury

Alternatively the seed-bank should be available at most meetings. 

NZCPS National Branch - new mailing address

Effective immediately the New Zealand Carnivorous Plant Society has combined its postal address with the NZCPS 
Auckland Branch. All NZCPS correspondence should now be mailed to....

New Zealand Carnivorous Plant Society
PO Box 62007 
Mt Wellington
Auckland
NEW ZEALAND

For those of you who have already posted stuff to the NZCPS - fear not as all mail will be redirected to the new 
address for the next 6 months.

NZCPS journal

The next edition of the NZCPS journal is due out in September and is looking a bit skinny at the moment. If you could 
write a short (or long) article it would be greatly appreciated. Send articles to the above NZCPS National Branch 
address or email them to Bruce Salmon at:

brucesal@xtra.co.nz

The preferred format is a PC computer file using Microsoft Word and saved as a (.doc), (.rtf) or (.txt) format. Photos 
may be sent as slides, prints, negatives or as computer files in (.tif), (.bmp) or (.jpg) formats (not exceeding 1MB in 
size if emailed). Legible hand-written or typed articles are also acceptable. Material submitted will not be returned 
unless specifically requested. The editor reserves the right to condense or decline any material or part thereof.

Marketplace

Is your collection missing one or two vital additions? Do you have a surplus of plants and need some room? Send
in your CP-related buy/sell/exchange ads and they'll be placed both in the newsletter and on the NZCPS Christchurch 
Branch website for free.
