Hexham AGS/SRGC joint autumn show
« on: October 04, 2025, 08:29:57 PM »
hosted again  at Hexham mart. The efficient organisers tell me 30 exhibitors staged 318 entries totalling 441 plants in the open section but  there were  no entries in sections 2 or 3.
Bob & Rannveig Wallis deservedly won the Forrest medal for C maritimum, one of a car load of excellent cyclamen,  the  AGS medal for 6 small pots one of which a C graecum candicum won  the Ewesley salver for  best cyclamen in a small pot,  a merit cert for a very large  Cyclamen hederfolium crassifoium  and  the Ponteland Bowl for most first points.
