European Orchid Show & Conference 2015 update

Registration now open
Online registration is now available for the European Orchid Show & Conference 2015 (EOS&C) through the dedicated EOS&C area of the RHS website, www.rhs.org.uk/eoclondon2015 

The event will run from 9 to 12 April 2015 (with a preview on 8 April) and be attended by over 60 exhibitors, including many international traders. There will be a Science Conference at RBG Kew and a Horticultural Conference in the RHS Horticultural Halls. Space at the lectures is limited so please register soon to ensure your place; the early bird rate is available until 1 December 2014.  

Judging and trophies
Qualified judges should apply to join the judging teams using the application form available through the website. Trainee judges may apply to assist with stewarding. 

The OSGB is sponsoring a trophy for Best Amateur Species. Why not start grooming your orchids for our display – it would be exciting if a member’s plant won this trophy.

Gala Dinner
Once registrants have received confirmation of their show registration they can return to the website to book additional events such as the Gala Dinner. The website is currently allowing registrants to book dinner tickets for only one person but this is being revised and registrants will soon be able to book for spouses/partners/friends – please be patient and await the updated facility.


The Gala Dinner is being organised by the OSGB and will be held on Saturday 11 April at the Royal College of Physicians by Regent’s Park. It will include a drinks reception and four course dinner with wine at this award-winning venue for £70.00 per person. 

A free prize draw will be held during the evening with a number of superb prizes to be won by some of the lucky diners.
