Membership Office news - 2025 end of season

Hello all

An update as we reach mid-November. As of this week we're going to process all early bird memberships for 2026, meaning from Friday this week, 21 Nov, the office will close until Jan 2.

If you have not yet joined/renewed:

Anyone who has renewed or joined during the 2026 early bird period will have their cards processed during this period. This is not an automatic process so requires effort to manage the 200+ cards, please be patient.

Card availability:

2026 Physical cards will be available to collected after the AGM.

2026 Digital cards will be sent before Jan 1 2026.

We will no longer issue 2025 cards.

Changes:

In the upcoming year we are changing the system slightly to mean you will have the same membership number year on year from Jan 1. This will make managing membership easier in the long run.

Until further notice we are still unable to produce google digital cards due to a change in their system.

Discounts/Members’ Area

The 2026 Dobies code and discounts info is updated; to receive the info you will need to log in to the members’ area.

Please be aware, that if you have not renewed by Jan 1 your membership area access will be put on hold on in 2026 until you have renewed.

I hope you've had a productive year gardening, and are well prepared for the spring.

Happy Winter, everyone!

Membership Secretary
