The first exhibit to strike the eye on entering the hall was a very large floral version of the North Coast 500 mounted by Mike Dale. it received a well deserved large gold medal.

The Farrer medal was won by Bob & Rannveig Wallis with Empodium flexile. They also won the EB Anderson prize for 6 small pots an exhibit which included a floriferous Cyclamen maritimum -back right - which won the Ewesley salver for best cyclamen in a 19cm pot. Bob & Rannveig also received a merit certificate for Galanthus peshmenii.
Ian & Maria Leslie received the Patricia Furness Vase for a well flowered Sternbergia and the David Boyd award for best gentian in a 19 cm pot with one of several examples of The Caley in the show.

George Young took the award for best foliage plant with an Ozothamnus while Ian Instone received a merit certificate for his immaculate Arenaria. David & Liz Livermore won the Inner Eye for the Intermediate section as well as another SRGC bronze medal while Maggie Duguid won the Newcastle Bowl for Section C and the Newcastle Trophy for her Saxifraga Fumiko. By bringing rather a lot of foliage plants and a few gentians your correspondent won the Ponteland Bowl for most first points.

round the benches with a failing camera battery-its a nice old hall but the natural light is not great, artificial lights are on and colours can be different to daylight.
