We’re hoping to get a great turnout of members, friends and the public to our showpiece event of the year. ‘Fiesta’ incorporates our annual competitive Show and a schedule of the classes and full details regarding entry conditions are set out in the January magazine. Please read these carefully!

You can get involved in ‘Fiesta’ 2010 by entering plants in the Show; by being a seller of plants and / or by joining the team of helpers over the weekend. It’s fun and you get to meet a lot of very nice people who share your interest and passion in bromeliads.

If you’re planning to sell plants, please contact Kesson Sharp (if you haven’t already done so) as soon as possible. Kesson is also co-ordinating the helpers and allocating jobs for the weekend so please let him know if you can help AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Kesson’s phone number is (09) 818 8051. Email:

Table allocations and the Show layout and logistics need to be finalised as soon as possible. If you can help out at ‘Fiesta’ even for a half day – please give Alan a call. We particularly need helpers for the Saturday and Sunday morning sessions.

Set up: Friday February 19th – competition plants accepted from 1.00pm to 5.00pm.

Sellers’ Note: All sellers are expected to help in some way at ‘Fiesta’ – and also to supply three plants each for the Society display (you get them back afterwards!).
