As from February 2009, the members meet at the Coniston Community Hall, Bridge Street, Coniston, (east of and next to the Coniston railway station) on the third Saturday in the months of February to October except for July and August. The August meeting is attached to the Reticulata Show as indicated below and due to the Annual Show, there is no July meeting. A Christmas gathering occurs at on the same Saturday in November at selected venues. Benching of blooms commences at 1.00 pm during the months March to September, or as dictated by the availability of suitable blooms. Benching must be completed by 1.45pm to allow the stewards to check the placement of blooms and the business section of the meeting is scheduled to begin at 2.00pm. Every endeavour is made to have a speaker from our own club, or other gardening societies / groups to inform our members of other gardening / leisure aspects or information. A chat over a cup of tea or coffee completes the afternoon’s meeting. Other relevant activities are arranged from time to time.

Our Annual Camellia Show is held on the third Saturday and the next day (Sunday) in July of each year. The venue is the Function Centre, Wollongong TAFE, off Foleys Road, Wollongong. This is said to be the largest Camellia Show in Australia. The Reticulata Show is held at the same location (in association with our monthly meeting and supplemented by that meeting’s benching of other cultivars) on the third Saturday of August and the following Sunday. This is the only Reticulata Show in its own right in Australia. A map indicating the location of the TAFE Function Centre will be presented on this website at the appropriate time.
