As a result of the current Coronovirus situation in the UK, the SRGC Perth Show (planned for Saturday 18th April 2020) is cancelled. The situation is changing very rapidly and we must all do everything we can to minimise risk.

News from the Highland (Inverness) SRGC Group - That, though terribly disappointing, it is necessary for the remaining 2 Group meetings and the Highland Show this year to be cancelled.

In light of the developing situation both the Aberdeen show and the remaining Aberdeen Group meetings of this season are cancelled.
A decision on the late bulb meeting in September will be made at a later date.

March meeting for. N Northumberland group is cancelled and there is a question mark over the April one too. The North Northumberland Group's annual bus trip has been postponed until 2021 as well, that was to SW Scotland.

"From Dave Millward, Convener of Show Secretaries:
The Edinburgh show, set for Saturday 4th April 2020 has been cancelled. This follows the latest advice issued by government regarding the current Covid-19 pandemic. We were all looking forward to a good spring show at Fairmilehead and we are sad to have to take this action, but it is for the best I'm sure.
With the cancellation of the Edinburgh show, all the Scottish spring shows and the joint AGS/SRGC show in Hexham will not now take place. A decision on the autumn events will be made later in the year when we have more up to date information.
Unfortunately, the cancellation of the shows programme will have significant financial consequences for the nurseries who provide us with such a wonderful range of plants for showing and for our gardens. Though we will not be able to visit their stalls at shows, can I encouarge all of us to consider ordering plants from those nurseries that have mail-order or alternative arrangements. Please visit their websites to see what 'goodies' are available.
I hope all members will stay well and do enjoy your gardens this spring."
SRGC list of specialist nurseries – to aid retail therapy and help our nurseryfolk friends - is available -

David Boyd SRGC Event in Mull -previously planned for May 2020.
Due to the Corona virus crisis the David Boyd Event in Mull has been cancelled. We are grateful to all those who had expressed interest on supporting the event.
It is hoped that we can organise another trip to Mull in the future.
As you are all no doubt aware, the situation with Coronavirus is rapidly changing, and the advice is changing accordingly. We know that this is a worrying time for everyone and have taken this decision to protect our members and do our part in flattening the COVID-19 curve through social-distancing measures.

Cancellation:
15 August: Dunblane Summer event
19th September Late Bulb Display, Aberdeen
9-11 October: Discussion Weekend, Grantown on Spey
RE SRGC Discussion Weekend; note to Registrants :
You may be concerned about the scheduled Discussion Weekend at Grantown-on-Spey in the light of the recent travel restrictions imposed to limit the spread of the viral pandemic. At present the Grant Arms Hotel is closed and the date for re-opening the hotel is not yet determined but will be dependent upon national guidelines regarding travel.
As a result, the SRGC Council have unanimously approved the cancellation of this meeting for 2020 and I have therefore returned your cheque for the booking fee which was not presented for payment. This is yet another unfortunate and disappointing cancellation in a year when they have been many others, but it was felt that we should take decisive action at an early stage.
If you have attended Discussion Weekends at the Grant Arms before you will know that we have been made most welcome by the staff and it has proved to be an excellent venue for the weekend. Once the travel restrictions begin to be relaxed, it is venues like this which will need the support of their visitors to rebuild their business.
We have therefore provisionally booked the hotel for October 2021 and revised plans will be notified in The Rock Garden and on the SRGC website as the situation develops: we look forward to meeting you there in 2021.
Keep safe and well.
Kind regards,
Peter Maguire (Registration Secretary)
