Replacement for the Exotic Plant Show
Just a brief newsletter here to let you all know that there is a change of date and venue for the next meeting (see below).

Also, the Big Day at the Botanic Gardens has been confirmed and we will have a society stall there. It's scheduled for the
Sunday 24th February 2002, so keep that day free and make sure that you have some plants available for sale. 

Meeting
Change of date and venue for November meeting!

When: Saturday 1st December 5:00pm

Where: Ross Taylor's nursery

Meet at Ross Taylors place (31 Ramahana Rd) before being redirected to the nursery - apparently it's hard to find.

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.
