a bit out of order but done to fit the posting allowance
Primula x miniera     Ian Kidman
Polemonium chartaceum.....Brian Burrow....seldom seen, difficult to grow and even more difficult to keep alive

Getting near the end...I am pleased to say, too much like hard work, had a short break for food
Saxifraga oppositifolia @icelandic Form'....Don Peace, for me I find oppositifolia hard to grow, even when left out allyear round with no protection
Saxifraga 'Riverslea' ......Mark Childerhouse...I know Diane hads posted a picture already but it is a nice example
Trillium nivale...also meant for last week but still held on for yesterday as been a cold week

This is the only plant where I failed to get a clear shot of the label. Anyone?

To say I am really agrieved to find out my recording of the Scotland v England match has failed to record is putting it mildly

last three
Saxifraga columnaris.....Alan Furness....looks a classic alpine, the pundits says not sue re 100% columnaris...who cares!
Saxifraga kotschii....Mark Childerhouse....raised a fair bit of comment among the cognesenti...you can make your own mind up
Saxifraga dinninaris...Alan Furness...might have put up already....getting tired but if so worth seeing twice

You'd only have been upset to see England be awarded a very dodgy try, Geroge.... ::) :-\ :-X

A "little" entry (WOW) ;D ;D  ;D from Mr Dionysia, Paul Ranson waiting to be staged.  What a fantastic set of plants, well done Paul. 

Beautifully iced cakes never looked better. :P

Now that I have had 5 minutes to sit down I thought I would post some people pictures from the show.   As I was being a "Jill of all trades" I was in the show hall during judging, so here are a few photos of the judging in progress and some more of Lionel's helpers.  

You will spot John Forrest, who was once very active on this forum, a number of you have been asking after him recently so I thought I would include a photo of him.  The lady helping John on the computer is Pamela, Tommy Anderson's wife.  Many of you will know Tommy from shows.  There is picture of Tommy here with Jim Wright who is also a well known exhibitor with his wife Wilma.

We also had a visit from a BBC film crew, they were interviewing an ex pupil of the school.

The members 50:50 plant stall was staffed by lots of people throughout the day.  We had a really good selection of plants on sale this year.  Darren was really pleased that all the plants he donated sold well - it meant he could get an Indian takeway on the way home  ;D
