....Penultimate batch....apologies to the beautiful plants (and people) that are missing....a lot of shots were consigned to the recycle bin.....

..and apologies for the stupid title for the image of Ophrys dodekanensis....

A great series of pictures Thanks Martin and Cliff, you did better than I did at Edinburgh where I only managed to get ten pics.
Mike and Judy Bramley must be very pleased  with such a good entry after all their hard work.

Martin, Cliff,
Don't know what I enjoyed most....the plants or seeing our dear old friends again. Guess it was the plants. ;D
Great shots....and boy do I miss those shows. Chesterfield was always a favorite of mine.
Love from me and the boss.
BTW Martin, great shot of the back of Brian's head. Always said that was his best feature. ;D

Thanks for the great shots of an excellent Show. 
Living in the South it is not always possible to get to AGS Shows north of Watford.  I did manage to visit Chesterfield in 1998?  Had agreed, after much arm twisting, to give a talk to the AGS Doncaster Group on the Friday night.  I stayed with Robin Metcalf (sadly no longer with us) and he said I might like to pop in to the Show on my way home.  I remember the wonderful plants, and the wonderful lunch - especially the puddings!

Looks to have been a tremendous show - thanks for the pix. Indeed, Mike and Ju Bramley should be really pleased with such a splendid display and competition on this their last outing as Show Secs. Mike and Ju - enjoy your 'retirement', but do keep on growing and hunting plants!!!!!

I must clear up any misconceptions. The photos in the pub and of Sister Act were not my work but those of a forum lurker. Tony, it's time you joined up before I steal any more of your limelight!!

Don't be modest Mick....where are the images of your latest prize winning exhibits....I know I took some shots but the camera was under the influence of drink by that late stage....?   :)

Yes, I had my camera but never took any pictures in the show hall, can you believe it!  Too much talking (well, you can believe that).   ::)
