Hexham early show this year was held under SRGC rules- so a Forrest Medal was on the cards for the most meritorious plant in the Show.
And it was won by this superb Viola brevistipulata Hidakana grown by "Kidders" - Ian Kidman. Well done!!

And the man himself, Ian Kidman, with the winning plant.

Judging in progress at the Hexham Show.

These three photos from Peter Maguire.

Another of the fine viola which also received an award from the joint rock committee. Another superb 6 pan entry in class 1 f rom Frank & Barbara Hoyle won the AGS medal for large pots while certificates of merit went to their Cassiope lycopodioides and Pulsatilla ambigua. These two were not in their winning six at the Kendal show last Saturday - four other plants were. Robert Rolfe took the Sandhoe trophy for best plant in a 19cm pot wth Saxifraga Ben Loyal. Raymond Hurd won The Gordon Harrison cup for the Intermediate section and an SRGC bronze medal.

Don Peace had most 1st points in the open section so won the RB Cooke plate. He also had a certificate of merit for Fritillaria pinardii and the Roger Smith cup for 6 plants =all frits -grown from seed. Apologies for the dreadful photo of these fine plants. Another of his frits received a joint rock award. Two plants that won merit certificates at Kendal did the same today : Peter Hood's Corydalis sewerzowii and Brian Burrows' Hyacinthoides reverchonii. More snaps tomorrow

A walk round the benches starting with class 1 large pots. The glorious sunshine which everyone enjoyed outside created some problems for my little camera inside
