AGS Kent Spring Show at Rainham - Sat 16th March

[Tim Ingram]

A reminder for all those in and around the south-east. If you would like the story of preparations for the Show see the AGS website. Meanwhile a little boxful of saxifrages from Aberconwy to tempt you...

Duly tempted ... but Aberconwy are also selling their beautiful plants at Blackpool Show, Tim and that is nearer.  Good luck to the organisers of both shows and, of course, to ourselves for our very own EAST LANCASHIRE SHOW at Whitworth, near Rochdale next Saturday 23rd March.

Who could resist ?  All with flowers  to make the choice more difficult.....
Here's hoping for clear roads and safe journeys for all the show go-ers

I'd heard that, David - it's that which is responsible for a small but significant "blip" in the UK's manufacturing figures, I'm told!
I know the "Hoppers" come by ferry, but I was really worried  when the Channel Tunnel/Eurostar was  out of commission earlier this week- I  thought the Hoppers might find themselves with  snow-blocked roads and cancelled ferries..... would the Rainham Show cope without them, I wonder?
Scary prospect!

Don't underestimate us Maggi.

Never, Luc, never!!  Have a great time!

They had better, David !  The car has a full petrol tank and an empty boot .... ready to roll !

Scary prospect!

The weather only had us worried for an hour or so, Maggi - Snow ploughs were on standbye to clear the roads if need be.... no way to stop us !
We wouldn't dream of disappointing our friends in Kent !

I bet Aberconwy don't take any of those Sax's back to North Wales!!!!

Lovely pics, thanks for sharing, looks like you had a great show

Really nice to meet Yann at the Show and to see all those great pictures. For another overview see the AGS website. But really lets get a bit more debate and comment on the Shows there - they are not just the preserve of the judges and wonderful write ups in the Journal; they should be celebrated on the website too... confidence is a personal thing as well as instilled by the judgement of others.
