I'll be giving a talk to the new Edinburgh Branch tomorrow, Thursday 12th December, about the National Collection of Aylostera, Rebutia & Weingartia, inc. Sulcorebutia, and how I came to be so obsessed :lol: Please come along if you are in the area!
The meeting is at the St Nicholas Church Hall, Sighthill, Edinburgh EH11 4NT, 7.30pm. There will be young plants for sale.

Hi Pauls!

Paul D. certainly did a great job in attracting the largest crowd I've seen so far, maybe except the summer visit to the Botanic Garden, but that's a different league on its own.

A great talk with just the right mixture of science, humour and common sense (and plants for sale!). I hope the off-site visit planned for next year will be a similar success.

Thank you Mat! It was good to see you and meet the others in the Branch. Congratulations to all of you for getting this new Branch going, it is great!
I heard a few days ago that we also have another new Branch starting up, which is fantastic news. All is not doom and gloom!
