The 2016 Show Pictures have been uploaded to the website. A particularly difficult year for the exhibitor. With considerable help from the fancy seedlings that I grow, I managed to score 'most points in show' at both the Auricula Show in Knowle and even more surprisingly in the north at Cheadle. An opportunity available to all via the Seed Distribution. |

HOSTING AND ORGANISATION |
|
Historically the NAPS M&W website(s) began life, when web file storage space was more expensive, hosted on webspace provided by various and many commercial hosting companies and Internet Service Providers. As time went by the many parts were consolidated into one site, the familiar www.auriculaandprimula.org.uk. The changeover was largely seemless and imperceptible from the user's viewpoint. However the "wilkin94" website proved more difficult as the ISP first stopped me updating the web pages and then eventually deleted the site completely. Copies of significant parts have been on the main site for some time including the SHOWS pages, the AURICULA pages and the PRIMULA pages. These are accessible through links in the "Short Cuts" portion of the NAPS Home page and at the bottom of most pages coming from the "wilkin94" site. Some of the more personal pages such as "My Auricula Collection" have not been copied across. |

A revised Exhibitors' Handbook
is now available to view prior to its planned distribution to members with the Society Newsletter. The revised handbook contains only the Rules, Standards and Guidelines for the Knowle and Saltford shows. The main changes are that - three pip plants are allowed in Edged Show Auricula single pot classes - three trusses are required for Border Seedling classes and five trusses for other Border classes - Gold Laced Polyanthus no longer need to have their immature pips removed - all pots must be round and terracotta in colour - exhibitors can show in the Beginners classes provided that they have not won five or more first prizes at NAPS shows in preceding calendar years. Otherwise the revision is for clarity and accuracy. Read the parts of interest to you and be up-to-date. Many thanks to Allan Guest and his helpers for all their hard work and expertise. The Show Schedules and directions to venues for the Knowle, Saltford and Romsley shows have not changed and are available on the Information For Exhibitors web pages. |
