Thankyou everyone my show is a very small village one near Hexham in Northumberland. I'm a bit disappointed I don't have more to take as the show needs all the stands it can get!

Just like the local show I am doing tomorrow, will not be surprised if I have any competitors in the dahlia classes I will be entering.
