I received this message recently from Bob Spotts, the most recent past President of the American Daffodil Society. For our show on suite101.com, we will be carrying the World Daffodil Council (WDC) and helping produce that show instead of having our own show. It seems reasonable, as I will be deeply involved in both. I invite you to do the same. Instead of having a separate show, all links to the WDS virtual Daffodil Show will be here on these pages.
Thank you,
Clay Higgins
WDC Representative:
Peter Ramsay and his Committee (Craig Broadfield, Clay Higgins, Tony James,Nancy Tackett) have produced a schedule for a "virtual daffodil show" to be placed on Internet. The show is proposed to be implemented on 1 July.
Please obtain and return concurrence from your society by 1 May so that Rule 1 (below) can be completed and publicity on websites can be undertaken. Send your comments or response to me, copy to Peter Ramsay.
Thank you.
Bob Spotts
