The British Cactus & Succulent Society (BCSS) has around 90 branches which are organised into zones. Zone 9 comprises four branches, each with their own web site with full details of branch activities:
Our zone representative is John Foster.
We hold a one day convention each year in April, and a bi-annual cactus mart.
Sunday 25th April 2010
Hardwicke Village Hall, Hardwicke, near Gloucester
| Leo van der Hoeven | Argentina A conglomeration of Leo's various trips around Argentina,
from which he has built up a vast knowledge & understanding of the people,
the places & the plant life. |
| Ray Stephenson | 56 years of succulents Ray covers the changing fashions in succulent growing over the last 56 years
& the people associated with our hobby during that time. |
| Paul Klaassen | Prickly issues Paul explores the issues involved in the protection & conservation of the plants

Hosted by Bristol Branch
Admission by ticket only, at £15 each to include lunch and tea.
Tickets are available from Zone 9 branch secretaries.
There was no cactus mart in 2009.
The Neeld Hall has become prohibitively expensive and we are still looking for a suitable alternative venue.
