Our club went to the 20th World Orchid Show today.
The tickets booking, purchase (at a deep discount) liaison with the organizer for guides, registration of members who wanted to attend ... was done by Ms Christina Wong
While Mr. Charles Koh helped with the purchase of snacks & drinks. It was quite a feat as the whole lot was V-E-R-Y heavy.
Here's some photos taken at the event:
