Are you talking about Ian Hay? Well he is el presidente of CSSNSW, he is bound to have an outstanding cactus & succulent collection Wink

Why are the Tierney's exhibiting in an NSW show anyway? They aern't from NSW? scratch Still their plants are excellent to say the least.

Can people from any state enter? I really need to join the society then I can ask them what the parameters for entering the exhibits are. Only thing is I don't think I would be able to make it to the meetings as it's a bit hard getting anywhere from this hole. Bummer!

Hi

Any financial member of the Society can enter plants in the competition / display.

The Tierney's that entered the show are from Sydney. Gary is from Sydney, his brother Terry is from Queensland. They both have some great plants, as well as being good guys.

The were both at the Melbourne Show last Saturday and Terry sold a lot of great plants.
