Tommy Anderson had all of 1 mile to travel to get to the show so was feeling in good fettle, even more so with some fine plants on the bench including an AGS Medal in Class 1 in which
Saxifraga 'Cumulus' and
Callianthemum anemononoides were two fine plants
Tommy also had a lovely large pan of
Saxifraga 'Allendale Ghost' in 19
I saw a picture of Sue Simpson earlier, only saw her at the end of the show, hope she was not infectious!!. She had a nice 3 pan in the Large Saxifrage class 19
and these were Saxifraga 'Auguste Renoir, S x poluanglica and S. 'Allendale Elf'
Fritillaria chitralensis from Cyril Lafong (23)

It was Brian Burrows birthday on the day though he tried to keep it quiet his friends made sure we all new and to boot he had not a bad day show wise

Many of his Primula grown over the years were on display and
Primula 'Henry Burrow' from  Frank Hoyle (60) was a fine example
Celmisia hectori from Alan Furness (39) was the won the silver class and
Ozothamnus coralloides from George Young was judged the best foliage plant at the show and so won the Kirby Cup (40)

Ian and Maria Leslie made the long trip up from North Wales, I hope they got home safely, they brought a lovely
Corydalis macrocentra to class 69, earning a nice red Sticker
A plant that really attracted me was
Primula odontocalyx from Tom Green (56), would like a bit of that
Colchicum kesselringii from Alan Furness (76)
Iris nusairiensis from Lionel Clarkson (81)
Pieris nana 'Redshanks' from Ian Kidman (82)
