BCSS National Show 2020
We are already looking forward to the next National Show but, as the Wood Green venue will not be available, we have been trying to secure of suitable alternative. We looked at several options but the only venue of the size we need, which is available in the summer of 2020, is the Arena MK in Milton Keynes.
We have secured a booking for Friday and Saturday 3 and 4 July 2020. There will be more information in December's CactusWorld.
woopeee,
Just 15 mins down the road from me, I shall be filling my car, hubbies and both sons cars and they have no excuse to get out of portering duties unless they want a stop on Sunday roast.
Soo excited , I can place plants Friday and change my mind and substitute Saturday
Tina
varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.
With all the required stewarding, Tina, surely you won't have time to position all your plants?

Milton Keynes has lots to offer, why not make an overnight stay, the venue by mk football stadium has some restaurants, large cinema, shops, Ikea even a large Asda,just in that small area plus mk shopping centre not even 10 minutes away with the snow dome etc, not far from London you could make a weekend of it .

I could even leave those big Euphorbias that I was going to chuck out by your front door, Tina. And Mrs T could tell you all about the benefits obtained by regular doses of Bristol Cream, Cointreau and Tia Maria. She was reading about these 'no fault divorces' that are set to come in and told me that was rubbish and that it was all my fault, what with the greenhouse and all.
