It is with great sadness we have to inform you of the passing of Gordon Dowson Carnation grower and hybridist. Gordon was a long serving member of the GNCS and the BNCS. Gordon died after a bout of pneumonia. Our thoughts are with his family at this time. The Funeral is at 12.30pm at Wear Valley Crematorium, on Tuesday 24th April 2018 Coundon, Bishop Auckland DL14 8NR and afterwards at the Hospital Social Club 32 Escomb Rd, Bishop Auckland DL14 6TZ
On these pages you will find information on Carnations in the Nort East and from across the nation. Carnations are becoming more popular as each season passes. We have received praise wherever we have been, we have shows in Garden Centres around the area and we would be delighted to see you there. We hope you like what you see on the website we try to update the site as often as possible and always welcome suggestions from viewers of the site. Details on how to join the society are on the Membership page

and no more subscriptions till November 2019.
Please note anyone who owes 2 years subscriptions will no longer receive a yearbook or correspondence from the society.
We deeply regret this action but as you will be aware second class postage is 54p with another possible 3p increase in April, charges like this are terrible for a small society like ours with a low subscription rate.
We could raise our subscription but feel it is our duty to keep subscription rates as low as possible.
Have you paid your 2017/18 subscription?
