The event will take place at the usual venue of the Carlton Social Club, Carlton WF3 3RW, close to the M1 / M62 interchange. There will be a wealth of sales plants and great talks:

Tickets are £17 with the buffet and £12 without. Please see the Zone 3 website for details and booking form (direct bank transfer is now available) www.zone3.bcss.org.uk/rally-2023

We hope you can make it.

As the nights are drawing in, thoughts must be turning to the Zone 3 Rally!

It's not just for Yorkshire folk, as friends travel from East Anglia, the Midlands, the North East and the North West. We hope that you can make it too... great talks, great plants (many tables booked) and great company (tu)

Electronic payment by bank transfer makes life easier - yes, we've caught up to the 21st century! Please see website for all details:

Will there be a list of sellers announced for this beforehand? Or is it just branch members' sales?

I'm sure there will be both and a list beforehand, the advert just says "The sale of plants, pots and sundries will be available from a number of commercial and private sellers. "

With one week to go there are a few places left. Fancy a great cactus and succulent day out before the clocks go back? All within easy access from the M1? We do hope that you can make it. All details here:
