This year the show is under SRGC rules.##
Show Secretary Angus Thompson tells us ... " We are progressing with the planning for the show and at this time the show will proceed. The arrangements are exactly the same as 2019 - with the same venue and car parking arrangements.
However - if the corona virus escalates over the next 2 weeks we will seek guidance and advice from the authorities and Martin Rogerson the AGS national show secretary will advise whether we proceed."
The Show was cancelled as a result of corona virus crisis

We should be busy at Hexham now, the hall would shortly close for judging. I don't know everything I would take, but I almost always take a lot of Primula henrici. I would almost certainly have dug up this Primula elatior from the garden. I think there would have been a few of these Corydalis. - Frodo or Beth Evens or one of the other solida.
Doubtless there would be a few others, Juno Iris, Primula allionii hybrids etc., but these will do for now.

Thanks Stan and Peter for showing your plants here in a virtual Hexham Show.
Lets hope more will follow your excellent example and share the pleasure of their plants in this space.......
