Who is going to the National Show?

Post by Liz M »

I'm going and I hope lots of you are going, too. the weather forecast is cool and windy, with some rain. The last was blistering hot and frankly sweltering, so almost anything is an improvement. I hope to see you there.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

I'll be there as usual, judging, selling, buying a bit, quietly just getting on with things, just have to decide on a shirt for the Saturday. Not a good weather forecast but should be a good weekend. hoping for a record attendance and looking forward to seeing everyone.

Me too; after judging, buying and admiring plants, I will be helping to man the Haworthia Society stand. Please come along to say hello!

There are at least 4 of us going from Nottingham and no doubt another two or three who also went last time in different cars.

I should be there; I need to leave Sheffield early in the morning to be there in time to get my entries in, as I'm not heading down on Friday.

My last National was 2000 at Spalding. Things have always got in the way since. Had hoped to go this time and enter a few plants, but working late on Friday and a few too many trips down south planned for later in the year to make this time realistic! :cry:


When you grow C&S you are in it for the long haul, so I will keep my fingers crossed for 2020 :shock:
Especially interested in Mesembs. small Aloes and South African miniatures and bulbs.
