Re: ELK 2017
Just four days to the off, been busy getting the car ready, my dear wife who is coming for the first time pointed out space might be tight with 5 plus luggage and plants so a bit of ply, 3x1 and paint and the Discovery gained a new solid parcel shelf to take the luggage and the plants can go downstairs.
And our new calendar will be on sale on the BCSS stand near the bat. See you there.

Re: ELK 2017
Blimey Bill, after you have all bought plants (well, perhaps apart from your wife), there will be 3 passengers sitting on the roof rack, I reckon. Especially after you have collected the ones on my wants list too! Have a great time! Ralph

Re: ELK 2017
I travel today from Madrid to Brussels and I will be visiting nurseries in Belgium, Holland and Germany and finally I will visit the Elk Fair. I am very excited, many preparatives to do.
You can find my Succulent plants here.

Re: ELK 2017
Do take advantage of ELK while you can. After the UK has left the European Union, we could well find ourselves having to obtain Phytosanitary Certificates and CITES documentation to bring plants back from Belgium. The cost of all that would be prohibitive on the small scale that we import plants. Our only hope may be if our country stays in the Customs Union.

Re: ELK 2017
Is there any interest to get an informal BCSS meetup going at ELK?
We might even be able to go out for a meal.
Please PM me your phone numbers and I can help create a WhatsApp group to coordinate logistics.
