POS Biennial General Meeting & Show

POS Biennial General Meeting and Orchid Show Sunday 27 March 2011

This year's BGM show was held at Garden Villa, 5 Jalan Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah (formerly Gopeng Road), Ipoh. This venue was offered by Mr. Jek Yap to our society to hold our orchid show and also our Biennial General Meeting and we want to take this opportunity to convey our heartfelt thanks for his kind gesture in helping our society during the last few years. As expected, another record entry of over 200 plants of very high show quality were brought to the show. The show started at 9a.m and by 11a.m we had in our register pants. Judging began at 11.30a.m.

Official bearers were:

Recording: Hew Fook Yoong

Classification: Leong Tuck Lock & Low Kok Keong

Judges: Chief: Leong Tuck Lock

The Grand Champion went to Mr. Liew Chee Seng with his entry of Phalaenopsis Yungho Gelb Canary. This plant which was bought from Taiwan has 18 perfectly formed unblemished flowers. If you have any experience with white novelties, you will appreciate the difficulty of maintaining each flower in perfect form before the show. Mr. Liew, a extraordinary grower has won many Grand Champion prizes with his submissions ..... Congratulations !!

The Runner Up Champion went to Mr. Theow Kim Fook with his entry of Ionopsis utriculariodes, a very showy plant with more than 10 spikes in bloom.

Lunch of nasi lemak and fried chicken was served to everyone in the show. The food tasted exceptionally good ... maybe because we were all very hungry. The meeting started at 1p.m and after our President, Dato' Dr. Majumder called the meeting to order, she gave her address.

Grand Champion: Den spectabile entered by Mr. Sin Chan Wah

POS January Show

Perak Orchid Society

16 January 2011 Orchid Show


The first show of the year attracted 192 entries with some very showy exhibits. The phalaenopsis novelty section was very well supported with an unusually large entry of P. bellina.






The Best Plant of the Show went to Mr. Liew Lip Yaw with his entry of Bulb. plumatum.

The Runner-up Best Plant was won by Mr. Cha Chuan Tuck with his entry of Epi. stamfordianum

Judges were

Leong Tuck Lock

Low Kok Keong

Lim Chin Nyon

Theow Kim Fook

Michael Wong.

The show was well supported even though there was another show running concurrently in Penang.

As usual our member-artist, Mdm Oh Chow Moy was there putting on paper a beautiful Bulb. annandallei. In fact her presence helped to draw in the crowd and turned the whole show into a carnival mood.

As one of our aims in holding our monthly orchid show is to promote Ipoh to tourist and people outside Perak to visit our city, we have a couple from England on holiday here and they were amazed with the beauty of the orchids displayed. Photo below showed them with POS members, Leong Tuck Lock and Wong Kai Meng.

Perak Orchid Society Orchid Nite '10 show

PERAK ORCHID SOCIETY


ORCHID NITE 2010 SHOW

This annual affair, held on 3rd. to 7th. of November 2010 was officially opened on 3rd. of November by Councillor Kok Pak Foo, representing Dr Mah who was unable to attend. In his speech he expressed the state's support of the orchid industry in Perak and pledged RM2000 to our Society on behalf of Dr. Mah.


Our President, Dato Dr. Majumder then gave Mr. Kok a Phalaenopsis as a token of our appreciation.



The show was well attended and 330 exhibits of outstanding quality were entered. Entries from as far as Penang, Taiping, Kuala Lumpur and Johore were on display. Out of 40 classes offered, 37 classes were taken up and prizes of RM50, RM30 and RM20 were given to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of each class respectively. Best in Show (RM300) was won by Mr. Robert Ang of Eucharist Orchids Nursery and Laboratory with his entry of Ctsm. Penang x Ctsm. pileatum.











The Best Runner Up (RM200) went to Mdm. Lim Mui Hua, with her entry of Phaph. rothschildiana. The contest for the Best and Runner up was a closely fought one. The judges comprising of 70 percent members from other societies had a hard time in the selection. The decision was split in the middle - a draw - and the Show Manager had to give his castng vote to determine the winner.









Best Species (RM200) went to Mr. Foong Seong Soh, with his Bulbophyllum viresciens, a specie endemic to Malaysia.






































The love of orchids is not confined mainly to the gardens of the enthusiasts and the show competition but is also expressed on canvas by one of our members Madam Oh Chow Moy, a self taught artist. She comes daily to the show to paint orchids which mesmerised surrounding observers with the freshness of her painting. She would ask our committee members for the name of the orchids she painted so as to name it accordingly. She even kindly sponsored one of her paintings for auction during our Orchid Nite Dinner which raised RM100 for the society.
