The Great North Carnation Society
Affiliated to the BNCS
Growing Pinks, Border Carnations and Perpetual Flowering Carnations
Welcome to The North East of England's website just for Carnations
For the latest weather details use this link
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
We are intending to complete a range of short video clips these will be on growing , propagating and showing carnations and pinks. Our first clip is on taking PF cuttings and can be located at the bottom of the 'About Carnations' page. Or use this link There is no sound to this clip but we intend to add sound when needed. Your feedback is essential on these clips so we will know if they are of any use to members, please send your feedback to me dennis.price12@btinternet.com or through the contact page on this website
Photos from 2019 shows
P/F Championship Winner for 2019 is once again "Bill Seagrave".
GNCS Shows are the window into our society we hope you managed to get to one or more of the shows. Our shows need to be supported by the members in both visiting and exhibiting, if the Garden Centres feel there is little or no support for our shows we could lose the venue, turn out this year has been very good and we have been pleased to see many members new and old at the shows. On behalf of the committee I would like to thank all those who attended and we hope to see you all at future shows. Dennis
2020 Subscriptions are now due.
Cheques should be made payable to the GNCS.
We still have a few members who still owe 2019 subs

IMPORTANT NEWS!
We have had to make changes to our meeting days please go to Club News for details
Our second DVD
"Growing On Pinks, Border and Perpetual Carnations"
is now available for ordering.
The price is £5.00+£1.00p&p for members and £6.00+£1.00p&p for non-members
send your order to:-
D Price, 48 Brandlings Way, Peterlee, Co. Durham. SR8 5HG
Please note:
Cheques should be made payable to D Price
Please note the cost of the first DVD has also risen to £6.00 the reason for the rise is we have changed to better quality materials notably the blank dvd's this is to avoid a large number of copying failures
Details of both DVD's are on the membership page
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.
Quite a number of members have not yet paid their subscriptions
Have you paid your 2018/19 subscription?
If you are not sure please contact me on 01915861141 and I will check for you. If I am not in please leave a message and I will get back to you or you can email me at dennis.price12@btinternet.com
Thank you
Audrey
