BCSS National Plant Fair - 10-11 August 2024

[Admin]

New timings confirmed, BCSS website has now been updated, I'd recommend being there well before 11am just in case scanning tickets and collecting cash slows things down.

I recommend people who want to get in quick, buy their tickets beforehand on the BCSS website, as you are llikely to get in faster.

We will be there.
This is our 1st time going to an event and I take my hat off to all the people that sell at the events up and down the country.
It's a mammoth task preparing the plants, not to mention the time spent growing.
It looks like it's shaping up to be an epic event.
I just need to label everything now and we are ready to go

Looks great!

Update message on behalf of Bill Darbon:

ITS ONLY a short time away for what we hope will be the best array of Succulent plants ever staged in the UK - NOT TO BE MISSED.

JUST TO CONFIRM Sales will be open from 1100 hrs on Saturday 10th and 1000 hrs on the Sunday 11th - this is a slight change an hour earlier to give you more time to shop.
We have over 32 sellers from all over the UK who will display their wares over 98 tables THAT'S OVER 290 feet of plants to choose
from!
YOUR Ticket gets you in both days and on Sunday the added attraction of 2 talks. Dr Colin Walker - Madagascar and Graham Charles
on propagation and growing succulent plants which are free to attend.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE

Cheers

98 tables - 290ft of plants? That would make them 3ft tables. I'd assumed they would be 6ft tables so shouldn't there be nearly 600ft of plants to choose from. Nothing in the info sent to nurseries gives the size of tables but I'd expect all the nurseries are expecting 6ft tables. 290ft would be she same size as Spalding Mart. Hope it's just a typo.
