==Introducing ==
===The Palm and Cycad Society of Australia Inc===
The Palm & Cycad Society of Australia Inc. ('''Pacsoa''') is a group of
affiliated, semi-autonomous, regional Palm and/or Cycad Societies
headed by a Board presently based in Brisbane, Queensland. The
Societies adopted the present structure in 1984 after having previously
been an informal information exchange. At that time there was
established the quarterly magazine, formerly Magazine of the Palm &
Cycad Society of Australia, now '''PALMS & CYCADS''', publishing articles
of both non-technical and technical content, of interest to the palm and/or
cycad enthusiast; and a
Bookstore which offers substantial discounts on retail prices of palm and
cycad books and publications, most of which are unobtainable elsewhere
in Australia. Since 1984 there has also been established a Publication
Fund which, since 1987, has published eight original works in book form.

At the regional level (the individual societies are known as branch
groups), regular meetings, field trips and outings are organized and all
branch groups produce a newsletter relevant to their particular area.

All executive and non-elected positions in the Societies and the Branch
groups are maintained by voluntary enthusiasts.

</ul>

All executive and non-elected positions in the Societies and the Branch groups are maintained by voluntary enthusiasts.

===The Bookstore===
The '''Bookstore''' is a mail-order
service operated by '''PACSOA''', again for members only. As a
majority of the titles are not available elsewhere in Australia, it is an
opportunity to obtain hard-to-get titles at reasonable prices.
Bookstore also carries a full range of '''PACSOA''' publications and
issues of the magazine.

===The Publication Fund===
The Publication Fund was established in 1986 and to date has published
eight items including four major publications of original works:
<ul>
<li>Palms of Subequatorial Queensland by Robert Tucker
<li>Palms of The South-West Pacific by John L. Dowe
<li>Palms and Cycads Beyond the Tropics by Keith Boyer
<li>Cycads of Central Africa by Peter Heibloem
<li>Cycad 90
</ul>

Funds are generated by donations from members and from the sale of the
publications. Such funds are isolated in order to continually have
available a pool of funds for future publications. Presently there are a
number of projects being considered. Details, when available, will be
published here and in '''PALMS & CYCADS'''.
