Secretary Report December Quarterly 2021
Another year as secretary and I
would again like to thank Bevan and Shirley Dance who
have helped me no end throughout the year. Shirley has
continued in the role of assistant secretary, and with
my family being in Tasmania, both have taken up my slack
on many occasions.
My role as secretary has continued
to be one of much correspondence in and out. Like last
year, 2021 has been a year of little more than
correspondence via email, a little “snail mail” and
telephone calls. Your rose committee has taken on
virtual meetings and has been fortunate to also keep up
with what has been happening and plan future events in
person. Meetings between the states have still been
conducted virtually.
The much-anticipated World
Federation of Roses Conference 2022 is still in
planning. Keep Adelaide from 27 October to 3 November
2022 in mind if you have the urge to travel. We are
hoping that international travel can resume in time.
Members will be updated with relevant information as it
comes to hand, through the quarterly and hopefully with
monthly meetings.
I continue to receive many emails
from members of the public requesting all manner of
information. “How do I grow and care for my roses, where
can I buy a particular rose and how do I join the Rose
Society?” are popular questions.
The following gardening events are
again being planned for next year. As was the case in
2021, any event could be cancelled or postponed
(possibly at short notice) or there could be late
changes to program, entry requirements, etc. Check the
organiser’s website and/or Facebook page and/or contact
them directly to find out the current status of an
event.
