Next Meeting - Saturday 18 March 2023 Our second meeting for the year will be held at the Brinsmead Community Centre on Loridan drive Bella Vista at 2pm. n As usual there will be afternoon tea, Show and Tell and a competition for a Floral Arrangement in a Kitchen Container. The members who travelled to Norfolk Island in February will be treating us to a slide show of the trip which should be most enjoyable and we hope to see you all there. The program for the year is now up on the website for your convenience and hard copies will be available at the meeting. Dont forget something for the raffle table and also our annual plant auction in April. A reminder MELIOIDOSIS It was worrying to hear of a confirmed case of melioidosis in Cairns earlier this year. This bacterium lives in the soil in most tropical countries around the world and can cause a very nasty and sometimes fatal illness. It tends Ito rises to the surface of the soil in wet weather, and we are urged to wear shoes and gloves when gardening, cover all cuts and scratches, and shower when we are finished. Covid-19 protocols will be observed --
