'All meetings ... [start] at 7.30 pm on the second Thursday in the month, except for the all-day Excursion meeting in June.'

Meetings 'are held on the third Sunday of each month from September to July at 2.30 pm. Guest speakers are invited to visit and give illustrated talks on all aspects of orchid growing. Often the speakers are specialist amateur growers who pass on some of their expertise. Sometimes the speakers are from nurseries and they bring plants for sale. At other times, the speakers may be concerned with orchids in the wild. One of the highlights of the year is the plant auction held at the December meeting when members can dispose of surplus plants, and of course buy new plants to replace them'.

'Talks and other public events are held about every two months or so.'

'Meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month commencing at 10.50 am in the excellent facilities of the Guildhall Theatre. Refreshments before and after the meeting may be purchased at the Guildhall Café.'
