The Harrogate Flower Show

The autumn flower show at Harrogate will be held at the Great Yorkshire Showground on the 16th to 18th September 2005, 9.30 to 5.30 daily. For the BNCS this is the venue for one of the Society’s most prestigous shows of the year. Trophies awarded include The Daily Mail Gold Cup!

For exhibitors the show schedule is provided below for information. Entries must be received by the secretary by 14th Sept 2005.

For non exhibitors the show provides a superb day out. There is of course a lot more than carnations to see. Members should make themselves known to those manning the BNCS stand for a chat about the Society and Dianthus in general. We are always keen to have members views.

For those of you who are not members this is an opportunity to join!

(If someone takes a few photos and sends them to me with a brief report I will post a report of the show on the website. Unfortunately I will not get there myself).

The following Schedule has not scanned very well. It is intended for exhibitors use only and will not be of interest to others. I will try and correct in due course!
