AGS Summer North Show Bakewell Sunday June 15th

[shelagh]

Just to remind everyone that this is a new Show venue and a new departure holding it on a Sunday.

Brian and I have been to suss it out and it looks very promising.  Huge concourse at the Agricultural Centre and plenty of parking.  We went on a Tuesday and Bakewell was buzzing so on a decent Sunday it should provide the potential for good visitor numbers.

The Agricultural Centre itself has a wonderful Cafeteria and a Bar.  Prices are very reasonable and helpings generous.  We did scout Bakewell for pubs and there are about 5 within a couple of hundred yards but I fear they will be very full and may not be able to fit in large parties.

Plants Who said anything about plants, get your priorities right.

 AGS Show Summer North  on Sunday 15 June in Bakewell at the Agricultural Business Centre, Agricultural Way, Bakewell, Derbyshire, DE45 1AH

Jon Evans will be on hand to photograph the plants for the AGS site - he will be kept too busy to snap the equally busy "lunchers" - though others may blow their cover, I hope!

Jon may be kept too busy even for lunch - shock horror!  Someone will hopefully make sure he gets a sandwich......   What a sacrifice these volunteers make .

[Jon Evans]

As long as I get regular cups of tea I'll be happy !

[David Nicholson]

Might as well get him a slice of Bakewell Tart as well.

Not much Bakewell tart in Bakewell.....but there are several 'The original Bakewell Pudding' shops

[Graeme]

 One man's tart is another man's pudding, I suppose    I've heard there is more controversy over this Bakewell confection than there is over Cornish pasties.

[Graeme]

If I can get the kitchen completed by then I will be there - will be good to see some plants again

[David Nicholson]

In the posh Midlands mate you might say 'Pudding' but we Northern lads are fond of 'Tarts'

[Martinr]

Ha Hah....but you do realise.....you do don't you......... that Bakewell tart & pudding are two entirely different things

[shelagh]

Graeme we'll be very glad to see you, please make yourself known.  I'll try and remember to wear my Forumist badge that Johnnie Dower made for us.

[Graeme]

Will do Shelagh - I was a member of Chesterfield AGS for a while but we have had a lot of work on for the past few years and we have been building an extension on the house - which seems to have dragged on - and we have a large nursery area as well.......

Show starts at 12 - what time do the stalls open?

[Maggi Young]

Looking at the Show Schedule - here - it seems that there is no separate opening time for the plant stalls- certainly no mention of that, but Martin R. may no know better..........

[Jon Evans]

At pretty much all the AGS shows, except London, where they are in the same hall as the exhibits being judged, the plant stalls will be open as soon as they have set up properly, and will usually be busy by 9am.
