Message posted on behalf of the Shows Committee:

As you know the Shows Committee organise a 'Judges Course' at the Moulton Agricultural College near Northampton, this course is aimed at members who are interested in ALL aspects of showing (not just judging).

The course offers newly fully re-furbished accommodation and talks on various aspects relating to our plants. The cost of the course is £145 which includes all meals (beer etc. is extra!) £50 deposit with bookings.
There are still spaces available for anyone interested in attending.

The speakers this year will include Derek Tribble, Les Hewitt, Ray Stephenson, Kathy Flanagan, Hazel Taylor, Gareth Darbon and Graham Charles.

Please contact Mal Weobley either by post at 48 Rowan Drive, Billingshurst, West Sussex RH14 9NF or by phone 01483 782004 or via e-mail malvalweobley@talktalk.net

It's a wonderful weekend of talks, learning, conversation, eating and drinking with likeminded people in a convivial and relaxed environment. There's also the added bonus of the car boot sales of plants between sessions. Great fun!

Does anyone know if it's too late to register for this year's course?
I've been trying to contact Mal without success...
Cheers
