Section 2 had many good entries - the Michael Roberts Trophy  going to Tony Stanley from Darlington while Elizabeth Dodds came down from Carlisle to take the Reginald Kay trophy in section 3.

Another excellent report, Stan … many thanks for posting. Our cameras passed like ships in the night … but my mind was on the pub … as always.

Wow aren't we lucky all Vivien's Hepatica pictures were our plants.  Don't think we've ever been TWITTERED before :D
