I guess you all know but it's the AGS show on Saturday at Loughborough.  If I get chance I'm going to stick my nose in and see what it's all about.  Is anyone else going to be there?

 Why is it that as well as the vision of Show Secretaries Doreen and Eric Webster working away on all the show preparations I also get a vision of dozens of folk  baking busily to fuel the cake needs of the show visitors?

Have a great day out!

[Palustris]

If the weather holds then we will be there, as usual.  Trying once again to get the White balance right so the awful lighting does not spoil the photographs!

[Nick_the_grief]

I'll keep my eye out for a smiling yorkshire man and a white cockerel with a camera then I'll be the good looking one sneaking cuttings  (only joking about the good looking last bit)

Hello all,Just had a phone call from Doreen on a Loughborough show matter,The entries are very good,
not at all poor as you may think after the  bad winter,(so that rules me out)So do not miss out on a good show,there are also nine or ten plant stalls,see you there then.Tony     

[Tony Lee]

I should have told you that the plant sales area is open from 10 00am you will find plenty to tempt you to spend a few bob.

Never mind the cakes....first training session of the season for Pudsey piglets And no doubt a discussion as to where the competition will be held this year.

Don't like the sound of that good entry bit from Tony, going to be too much competition fro me (as usual)

Can't remember Doreen doing anything but fret about whether enough plants would turn up.

And for the forumists who don't know me, look for the cherubic 2 year old, exactly like my Avatar....or ask the grumpy, bearded, balding Scotsman with a Stewards badge who I am!

[David Nicholson]

Taking your lettuce along Martin?

[Tony Lee]

That pub carvery was very good in February Martin,we were outnumbered by our friends from further north,perhaps we ought to ask Brian to give them a ring to warn them of an invasion.

Yippee   

And no doubt a discussion as to where the competition will be held this year.

Definitely top of the the agenda, we have to get our priorities right.   

And for the forumists who don't know me, look for the cherubic 2 year old, exactly like my Avatar....

yeh, yeh 
and for forumists who don't know me, I could wear my avatar sunglasses     (well it is funny lighting in the hall  )

 There isn't a Show Secretary anywhere who doesn't worry about that- part of the job description is to be able to fret about enough entries even when the hall floor is groaning under the strain of so many!

With nine or ten plant stalls that must be a record, isn't it? Never heard of so many up here, but then again there aren't many venues which could accomodate that number.

Good news for those with losses over the winter to find  replacement plants, eh?

The spells of sunshine some of us have been having must be bringing on show plants at speed now....I bet it's a lovely show.

I think Harlow might have 12.  I think it's only those first two shows that can justify that number, because everyone is suffering withdrawal symptoms after the winter and buys plants like they are going out of fashion

I'm hoping to be there and will daringly wear my red forumists sweatshirt, so say hello.
