Havering Cactus Mart 2010

Post by Cactus Kid »

:woho:The Havering Cactus Mart will be held on Saturday 8th May at Dukes Halls, Maygreen crescent Hornchurch Essex RM11 1EJ. Open at 10a.m. this is always a major event in the cactophiles diary.

We currently have 13 Nurseries confirmed, and are waiting for a response from another one.

Definitely attending are:-

Connoisseurs Cacti (John Pilbeam)
David Neville
Edgintons
Eau Brink Cacti
Kent Cacti
Kilnwood Cacti (Doug Donaldson)
Philip White
Plantlife
Ralph Northcott
Richard and Shelia Drain
Roy Lee
Tony Irons
Toobees.

There will also be stands from the Mesemb Study group and the Haworthia Society.

Refreshments will be available all day.

Sadly this may well be the last time this event is run due to the rising cost of the hall hire and the falling number of nurseries.

So make sure not to miss out on the biggest event in Southern England!:woho:

David, yes it is open to all at 10.00am and there is no problem with parking. The halls have there own car park which is usually big enough and also street parking just outside.

If you Google the post code you can get a map of the area and directions on how to get there from your own postcode.(tu)

Looking forward to a fantastic day next Saturday. I will be there from 7.30am until 3.00 pm and will be wearing my FORUM BADGE so there is no excuse for you not to introduce yourselves!

It would be great to have a chat with those of you I haven’t seen for some time and to meet up with new friends.

Hope all those attending have a very enjoyable day, find everything they want and don’t end up having to re mortgage the house to pay for it!

See you there :)-D
