I've told that the reason why they stopped having them there was because the rhs got too greedy and wanted too much money for the hire. If it were in the London area I would go, not too exhibit but to look and just soak all of it in. I also know quite a few people that would want to exhibit.
nb I acknowledge that there will never be a perfect solution that suits all but it would be fantastic if they did do it.

Wouldn't it be good if they could have 3 or 4 key places for the southern show that they did on yearly rotation? Would be fairer, especially if there seems to be a loud vote of dissatisfaction of the show not ending up a southern show anyway.

Have to get the exhibitors to spray blooms with maximum hold hair spray to prevent petals dropping, lol.

If you get a heatwave you can have composting demonstrations with the blooms to amuse the crowd by the end of the show.

This is one show crossed off my 2013 list. Asked if I could change my holidays to be off for this show but the week is fully booked.

On the plus side my boss did agree to the last week of September so I may go to Malvern Autumn Show if I can time the blooms.
