I will be bringing a tableful of my new narcissus hybrids for a display, since I have nothing worth competing with, so please come and talk to me if you're a fellow daffanatic.

Sounds good Anne- wish I could see that.

 How is your latest list going? My parcel arrived today!

Big healthy plants,  well packed,  I was more than delighted with them.

Even 9 could be too late for some choice plants - I've seen plants being sold out of the back of the van whilst nurserymen where still unloading at Hexham!  :o

I always have a terrible dilemma at Loughborough - having entered any plants in the show and photos for the artistic show, where do I head for next, plant sales or bacon butties?

Generally the bacon butties win........ :-X

AGS Loughborough- show cancelled
« Reply #13 on: March 08, 2013, 10:58:50 AM »
I've just had a message to say that the Loughborough show tomorrow is CANCELLED due to a gas leak.  There's a lot of phoning round going on at the moment, so all judges and exhibitors should hear, but anyone who was just planning on visiting may not hear.  If you know of anyone who usually comes just to visit, could you let them know?

Thanks Diane, beat me to it. There is building work at the back of the school and they have fractured the gas main. No chance of recovering the situation by tomorrow. Apologies to all.
