Events I try to attend - with some combination of plants, housing, equipment etc.

Scottish National Rhododendron show which is held at end April / beginning of May in Oban. In 2008 they are having a Silver Jubliee conference in Edinburgh so we will miss it. Haste ye back.

There is the mad frenzy that is the plant sale for the North Connel and District Horticultural Show in the middle of May, which everyone contributes plants and then buys more!]

I really should do more car boot sales but with more and more working holiday visitors each year Sundays seem to get lost in housework and greeting new guests.

I would LOVE to think about doing Gardening Scotland [end May] but its a bit daunting.

I have done Royal Highland Showin the past [third weekend in June] but it got too late for our birds. We tend to be already booked up by then.

Taynuilt Highland Games - third week in July is now the first of the local Highland Games so I expect it to be July 19th 2008

Kilmore Games will be July 26th 2008

A few local shows are just not worth the time, effort and expense as they have rather slipped away from their roots. Others are, unfortunately, just too far away. I would love to do Inveraray Games and Mid Argyll show but, without anyone working full time with us we have to set up our stance the night before each time and these are JUST too far away.

I am hoping to do Appin this year if everything goes to plan. Its meant to be a lovely show which has clashed with other things I do in the past years.

North Connel and District Horticultural Show in Benderloch village here at the end of August.

Dalmally Agricultural show is always the first Saturday of September - a wonderful agricultural show, which is always so well attended.

Rare Breeds Show and Sale in Oban Mart is still relatively new but growing and usually happens at the end of September.

Even on the days I am away the farm is still open as always. However if you are looking for specialist advice then come on another say as I cannot be in both places at once.
