The OSGB Travel Club

The aim of the Travel Club is to promote excursions to various orchid related events in the UK and Europe, as well as to arrange longer holidays to worldwide events and orchid rich areas. People who do not wish to travel on their own will instantly be part of a group which shares a common interest.

The trips to European orchid events will be made by executive grade coach, thus allowing plenty of room for general and orchid shopping, or where this is not possible flights and accommodation will be recommended.

The International trips will be by air with the choice of regional airports. For events such as World Orchid Congresses, flights and hotel accommodation will be recommended. For trips to countries where orchids grow, there will be a full itinerary of excursions to see orchids growing in their natural habitats, and to experience the delights of the country. Not all of these trips involve a lot of walking so are suitable for all. If you have any doubts then please enquire.

Wild Orchids of Slovenia 2012

By popular demand a second trip will be taking place in 2012, three weeks later than this year so that we see a woodland full of Cypripedium calceolus in flower rather than as this year in bud.

European Orchid Conference 2012

The next European Conference in 2012 will be hosted by the Hungarian Orchid Society in Budapest – this trip will be arranged with flights.

**********************************

It is not necessary for all travellers to be members of the Orchid Society of Great Britain, so you can take your friends and relations with you. Most trips will be of interest to both orchid enthusiasts and those with other interests.

If you wish to be included in any of the trips then please contact Val Micklewright - full details in the Journal.
