Cliff Booker's Shortia  uniflora won the Farrer  medal. Don Peace took the AGS medal for 6 small pans as well as a merit certificate  for  a nice little Woodsia fern he had raised. Due to having so  many fine plants  he received  the RB Cooke plate for most firsts in the open section . Dave Millward 's pot of N obesus Lee Martin won the Sandhoe Trohy for best plant in a 19 cm pot and the David Boyd  award given this year for a narcissus.

Stan has done a very comprehensive run through the show at its new venue which, as far as I am concerned, was a huge success with good entries, good exhibitor access, good sales area, good cafe and loads of free parking which meant many visitors through the door. The plant sales appeared to go very well with many stands nearly empty by the close of play. I feel that the huge effort put in by Show Secretary Angus Thompson to the show publicity, the show set up and organisation reaped the rewards this effort deserved so thank you Angus.
My own day went ok from the show plants point of view but sadly my digital camera decided to pack up right at the start (memory card problem, now sorted) so I had to rely on my rather old mobile phone which eventually ran out of storage space (yes it is that old) so there is not the usual number of pictures and some are not too good...sorry
In no particular order

David I have had a problem in the past when I used pictures from my mobile as their size is quite large 5-6mb as opposed to 3-4 from my digital camera and I suspect that is what is wrong, even using the SRGC downsizer on these mobile pics does not reduce them to below the 200 required, I did try to post the downsized images, which were around 300, using the in line image approach which has worked of late for my digital camera pictures. the 3-4mb ones, but the site would not accept these pictures either. I do wonder if the web site was busy at that time as Stan was posting his pictures and ? the site could not cope.
I will give it another go to see what happens

That is all I managed to get before the mobile phone decided to die as well so that will have to do.
As I have said already it was a splendid start for the new venue, some 'tweaking' will be done for future shows there but in the main a roaring success, it will be interesting to see what the visit numbers turn out to be, I spoke to all of the trade stand folk and they were happy and I also spoke to a number of visitors who all expressed a favourable opinion of the show and the venue.

Good that  you solved your posting  problem as your comments  on plants are always worth a read. I have always  found the SRGC downsizer works but it gives quite a small picture even  after the viewer clicks on it. I've switched  to the new system  where one adds square brackets  but that definitely  has trouble with big files either taking a while or sometimes aborting the post so I compressed  all the sets  of five using Office and the system then accepted them very quickly.

Stan on what was going to be my final attempt at posting pictures everything went as expected, no problems, even though I was posting the non reduced in size pictures from my phone, they all went through first time. I suspect that when others are posting images in, as you were when I had my first try, the web site does not cope so well but later this afternoon when little or no posting was going on it all went smoothly. Thanks again for your show coverage, even though the picture of me not too flattering!!!

Magnificent AGS/SRGC Show at Hexham on Saturday ... many thanks to Stan and George for their comprehensive photographic coverage and to Angus and his superb team for such an enjoyable and trouble-free event. My only (very slight) reservation is with the relatively poor lighting in the show hall (reflected perhaps in many of the terrible images that I'm about to post), but quite a number of show venues suffer this affliction, so not too much to worry about. The new venue was large, welcoming, comfortable, easily accessible and suited the needs of all our varied users. Parking was excellent and the catering area was particularly good. I'm afraid my images are unlabelled and not in any particular order ... much like my life. They are simply being posted to give you a flavour of the event and I apologise in advance for the poor quality and the lack of any commentary. Now to see if this download system will let me play ... ?

So, to sum up, this was a wholly enjoyable experience in a new and vibrant venue ... congratulations to everyone involved. Of course my rose tinted views may have been swayed by the fact that I managed to (finally) achieve a long held ambition to win a third Farrer Medal (after getting numbers one and two in 2000 and 2003 respectively) with a nice, challenging pan of Shortia uniflora ... as my dear friend Brian Smethurst generously pointed out; "You brought ONE RUDDY PLANT to the show; you got ONE RUDDY FIRST with it ... and then had the temerity to get ONE RUDDY FARRER with it!!!!"

Congrats again on your  win, Cliff!
 Thanks to all those posting  photos - I know there are  sometimes  problems posting   but the  time and trouble taken is  very  much appreciated to all those  around the world  who never  get a chance to  see these  shows in person.

The latest system where  photos are  automatically  resized  usually works - and I'm grateful to those who persevere and  do not   give up when faced  with a  temporary problem to continue their posts.

 I repeat  previous advice  - though I am aware that temporary  hitches  can occur - please  be patient!
A reminder about posting photos
  the SRGC Forum has undergone some changes recently and if using the  (attachimg=1)  code ( " inline full-size image option" )  - with the square brackets (rather than the ones I've used to allow you to see without confusing the system with code) it is possible to attach  larger photo sizes which will be automatically resized to the page and open in the  text box.


These are  the square  brackets  [  ]

 8) 8)

This screengrab shows what a post will look like when this method is  used to add photos in the text - using pretty much any device it seems, i-pad, smartphone, whatever!

I arrived at the show early, at about 9:45 and was pleased to find I could walk straight in to see the sales area, even though this was a bit earlier than the advertised start time.  You can see me in side view amongst Stan's pictures of the sales tables.  The sales area was only this quiet right at the start; please don't get the wrong impression, for the rest of the day it was much busier with too many people milling around to get good photos.

Maggi, are you brave enough to tell Sandy that it currently says 'Kendal' in the headline banner?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Saxifraga 'Marco Webr' from Tommy Anderson (16), did not do anything but I liked it

I think this  cultivar may be  correctly  called S. 'Mirko Webr' - http://www.saxifraga.org/plants/saxbase/taxon.asp?Taxon=2868 (http://www.saxifraga.org/plants/saxbase/taxon.asp?Taxon=2868)
