National Show UK

Post by DaveW »

For those in the UK on September 3rd, the British Cactus & Succulent Society National Show is on at the Newark Showground Nottingham. It is held every four years. It was postponed last year due to the Covid lockdown. There is a usually a large plant sales area too with different nurserymen attending.

Should have added this. Sorry about the dreadful song, found very few in the UK that like it!

For those in the UK who did not get to the BCSS National Show there are videos of it here: -

The classes are purely for convenience in judging rather than strictly botanical since classifications keep changing anyway. For a list of what is included in any class see Handbook of Shows here: -
