Many of our members attend the national shows of the Alpine Garden Society and are hugely successful as well. Shows are held throughout the year around the country and are the perfect place meet fellow enthusiasts, buy alpines and books and to be inspired!
Congratulations to:
|
Jean Morris, who was awarded her fourth Gold Bar in the artistic sections of the AGS shows. Also to Tony Hale who, in addition to a number of other prizes, was presented with the Byng Cup for earning most first prize points in the Intermediate Section during the year. |
