Mid Anglia AGS Bulb Sale 2012

[mark smyth]

Sunday August 19th 2012 2pm at Pentlow Mill, near Cavendish CO10 7SP

See you there! My flight is booked

[Brian Ellis]

Galanthophiles will be interested to learn the following:

Katherine would like to sell the bulk of  David Quinton's collection  at the Anglia Group Bulb Sale on the 19th August.  Because of their small  or medium size  they will be available in starter packs so people can see what they are buying.  There will be a very good range of varieties and they will be priced to reflect the fact that many will have to be grown on to flowering size.

Please note they will not be available before the event!

Also one of David’s choice bulbs will be auctioned at the event.


The details of the bulb sale are below.

The AGS Mid Anglia Group’s bulb sale will be at Pentlow Mill near Cavendish  CO10 7SP on the 19th August at 2.00pm. The former mill home of Andrew and Jenny Clark has a delightful garden with extensive river frontage with both mature plantings and smaller, intimate areas. Teas and cakes will be available.

Needless to say as usual a wide range of other bulbs will be available.

As usual I will be hundreds of miles away on a family holiday .... But there will be a few folk selling tickets for the Norfolk Group one day Conference on September 8th.   Bring your chequebook .... for the Conference and the snowdrops

Conference speakers are Harry Jans, Ian Young and Kit Strange who will cover Cultivation and Exploration to reflect the variety of talks we enjoy at our local AGS meetings.

Have you seen the weather forecast for East Anglia tomorrow? 30C  and I couldnt stick 24C here today. Shorts and flip flops I think or budgie smugglers

Mark just hope that you do not have to explain the last comment

[mark smyth]

Has anyone heard from Luc S and Luc G?

[Brian Ellis]

Mark the reputed hottest place today was 32° - in Cavendish Suffolk   Guess where the bulb sale is....

[mark smyth]

34 I've just been told

[Brian Ellis]

I have to say it felt like it today didn't it?  Great to see so many forumists there today.  I am pleased to report that there was a bulb of Galanthus Corrin being auctioned from David Quinton's collection and the lucky bidder was a member of the SRGC   Well done you 

[Maggi Young]

It was pretty warm here in Aberdeen today. It was very stuffy at work today thought I doubt it was quite as hot as 34 degrees.  I'm assuming the sale was outside ? Be a shame to miss "the" summer's day.

So nice to hear that the sale of David's bulbs went well. It will have been an extra excitement for a good day, I'm sure, because I always hear that those attending have a grand old time.

Just been thinking how incongruous Mark's avatar is, with him in  scarf and hat  in all this talk of heat!

[mark smyth]

It was soo hot I had to take off my hat and scarf

[Maggi Young]

It was soo hot I had to take off my hat and scarf

     Are you still in England, or did you go straight home? How was the new camera - I hope it didn't melt in that heat?

[Brian Ellis]

It was soo hot I had to take off my hat and scarf

Thank goodness it was no hotter

The official figure was 32°C and at Cavendish.  The air temperature on the way there today, according to our car, hit 30ºC.  More than hot enough thank you.  It did pour with rain just after we arrived and the first picture is of people sheltering under one of the gazebos.  The feet also attended - perhaps a new avatar?

[Maggi Young]

Chris Brickell in shorts .... and Mark's feet.... dear me, perhaps as well I'm so far away.
