Hello all,
I've recently taken over the BCSS Twitter account and I'm hoping to host a regular "Open Hour" session, maybe starting in late October after a period of promotion. This will essentially be an hour, once a fortnight or so, where we actively encourage people to send us their cacti and succulent questions and photos, and we will do our best to answer them without judgement. This could be anything from propagation queries to plant identification. It would probably be held in the early evening - but that's open to discussion. It'd be nice to add all our responses to a Twitter story so that users who do miss the session can flick through the questions easily.
I'm looking for a list of around six volunteers who are willing to be available for an hour once a month (if fortnightly, no need to do both unless you want to) - just people that I can call on about a week in advance to ask if they'd be available on X date, and some backups incase they're not. All you need is your own Twitter account. Please let me know if you're interested in helping out below - or, please, if you have thoughts on this I'd be interested in hearing them.
Thanks!

There doesn't seem to be all that many UK-based cactus and succulent people on Twitter. There's quite a lot of houseplant growers and people quite new to plants, but not so many more experienced growers maybe.

Double thanks Stevium,
I’m currently locked from following too many people but can read posts and see there was a special members offer of 5 for 4 issues of journal. So I’ve taken membership plunge and had also bought a few back issues of journal over weekend too
Cheers
