Hi All.
We were there as well and copied down quite a few cactus names from the show bench, the Mammillarias were nice so much better than our own plants, won a cat address book from the raffle, (all we need now is a cat !) and bought several small plants from the stall there sorry I did not get their names, but very friendly and helped copy down some of the names, we were impressed with Thetford garden centre as well, good coffee shop and plenty to see we will definately go again, fantastic plants on the show bench most of which we had not heard of.

Thanks for that Hob,I must admit it was a surprise when my name was called out.That fockea edulis won a first at Kings Lynn a couple of weeks ago and I vowed not to take it anywhere again as its so heavy,but i'm glad I was persuaded to show it now.Good to see all the other forumites too,including Robert P.Sorry I missed you Alec,you should have asked if any forum members were about.Hopefully we will see you another day.Cheers all,Ray.

Super pics Hob as always, good to see you again!
Sorry I didn't meet Len and Alec - perhaps next time.
I entered 15 classes and won 3 firsts, 3 seconds, and 5 thirds, which I was very very pleased with as it is only my second show

Great pics Hob, slight error on my part pics wise, managed to take mine with the ISO on 1600!

Nice to see you and Ray M at the show, well done to everyone who entered, some great plants.

Cheers

Rob

Another swift post, Hob! I was wearing my Forum, but must have see others members without realizing it. It was good to see such a fine display of plants from what is a fairly small branch.
