ZONE 6 CONVENTION

Post by David_K »

The Northants & Milton Keynes Branch of Zone 6 is hosting the Zone Convention on Saturday March 22nd 2014.
This is one of the first events of the year and has been well supported in the past with more demand last time than we could accommodate (110). For most members it will be the first opportunity to hear the two overseas speakers who will each give two talks.

Rikus van Veldhuisen from The Netherlands (Chairman of The International Euphorbia Society) speaking for the first time in the UK will give two talks :- On the Track of Succulents in Ethiopia and Medusoid Euphorbias
Tomas Kulhanek from The Czech Republic on only his second time in the UK will also give two talks:-
Gymnocalycium and Argentinian Habitats

Plant Sales by Rikus van Veldhuisen, Rene Geissler, Northants & MK Branch, One other nursery to be announced later.
Pots & Sundries by Phillip Barker and Books by Keith Larkin

Venue: Giffard Park Primary School, Broadway Avenue, Giffard Park, Milton Keynes, MK14 5PY

Ticket Price £15.00 which includes arrival refreshments, lunch and afternoon tea. There are ony 4½ months before the event so please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Please send your cheque payable to BCSS ZONE 6 together with your address and the names of all that you are buying tickets for to: David Kirkbright 71 Lakes Lane Newport Pagnell MK16 8HT. If I receive people's email addresses with their booking I will send the ticket(s) and other details electronically and we can save on the postage.

PLEASE NOTE this is a Zone event not a national one so I am unable to take credit card or PayPal payments.
