I think you need to change the date on the headline Maggi, it says October …

[Maggi Young]

Oops ! I changed the post but forgot the  title! Thanks!

[Richard Green]

Can I point out that the SRGC AGM will be on Zoom at 10am GMT rather than BST as originally noted in Maggi's original post, as the clocks changed back to GMT last weekend.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone's faces again on Saturday - I shall be opening the meeting early so folks can have a good blether (the Scots word for "chat"!) before the official business starts.

The Zoom link will be posted on the website page on Friday morning (UK time) - on the page link given in Maggi's original post.

Please make the effort to be there - see you all on Saturday....

Richard, will we be able to look at the meeting at a later date? The BSBI have a zoom meeting on Saturday.

[Richard Green]

We may well record this, Ian, if it is available them I shall let you know.

The AGM Zoom links and papers are now on the SRGC website www.srgc.net under Shows & Events | Club Events | 2021 AGM. 
Please check out our new website if you haven't previously seen it.

Some plants for a virtual display. My ony two gentians  still in flower are The Caley raised by Ian McNaughton and Blue Silk from Keith Lever. A couple of small  cyclamen C cyprium and C  confusum.  Pots as dirty as usual.

[Stan da Prato]

Some cvs  of Saxifraga fortunei,most from Japan. My collection  has  just been boosted  with some nice plants   from Edrom to replace  those lost to vine weevil. I'm  following the nursery's advice  to treat  them regularly wth nematodes as vine weevil love these plants.

Well done Stan! Another terrific effort to keep the Show Fires burning in this time of pandemic with your pictures of plants that you would have preferred to take to be  enjoyed in a display  at a face-to-face Annual General Meeting!  You've done us proud all through this lockdown and covid-ridden period. I know, as a former Show Secretary, just  how valuable  your entries contribute to the  success of the  "real" shows - and it  is  utterly selfless of you to have  done  so much work on these  virtual shows as we have come to enjoy both from your  Show Reports in this forum and your virtual show entries. We owe you a  debt of gratitude for sure. I hope to meet you again soon and buy you a celebratory cake - or two!

Hear, hear! Thanks Stan for your "Show Plants"!
It was a great thrill to attend the AGM (how often do you hear that!) and to see so many friends from SRGC.
Glad it went well and really appreciated the "chat" at the end of the meeting.
I had to decline Anton's offer of nominating for Council, though!
cheers
