The society meets every second Tuesday of the month (except January), at the Maribyrnong Community Centre, Randall Street Maribyrnong.

The aims of the Club are: to promote an interest in growing, cultivation, hybridization, preservation and history of orchids to all fellow enthusiasts, in an environment that will develop friendships and the exchange of information within the orchid growing community.

The Society meets on the first Wednesday of each month (January excepted) at the N.G.Wishart Senior Citizens Hall, Nepean Highway, Moorabbin. Melways Ref. 77 E6. The night starts at 7.30 p.m. with 'The Early Session' for the members. The main meeting starts at 8.00 p.m. It features an invited guest speaker, talking on advanced Orchid culture. A flowering competition is run at each meeting, with members bringing in their flowering plants to exhibit. A nightly presentation of the bench winners is the last part of the meeting. The meeting is then closed, with members and visitors invited to join in for supper and a chat.

General meetings are held at the evening meeting with a team of judges adjudicating the benching competition. The day meeting is less formal with benched plants judged by popular vote of members. Our meetings emphasise information sharing through demonstrations and talks.

An early session is run from time to time starting at approximately 7:30.
