Education Courses are held at the Research Centre at various times and outlines are available at the Centre, in the Botany Bay Bulletin distributed at our monthly meetings and posted on this page. You can register for a class at a monthly meeting, at the Research Centre in person, by phone (9523 8948), or by email

Unless otherwise specified, the cost to attend a class or seminar is $5 per hour (which includes all printed materials). Therefore, a class of two hours will cost $10 for members and a concession of $15 for couples. For non-members, classes cost $15 per person and $20 per couple. It is essential to register for a class, as class sizes are limited and resources are only provided for the numbers of persons registered.

Interest Group meetings do not require booking and the fee is $3 for members and $5 for visitors. All meeting dates and times for 2010 can be found on the Interest Groups link and are also included in the Events Calendar
