The pre-seminar event is the Executive meeting on 23 November. The day will be crowned by the Banks Memorial Lecture at 8 pm at the Auckland Museum. We are delighted to announce that this prestegious lecture will be given by Jack Hobbs, Curator, Auckland Regional Botanic Gardens, and will draw a large audience. It will be necessary to limit numbers for the seminar day so be early and enjoy a stimulating day and the added attraction of the concurrent Ellerslie Flower Show . May we remind Branches your reports are required and are most welcome.
Financial statements are also necessary.
The importance of these Branch reports is that they can give guidance to the Exec for forward planning and be a closer link for members to express their views locally if not nationally. Nominations are called for these positions. All are elligible for re-election. Nomination forms are available from the Lincoln Office. Ron Flook Chairman.
