                                A Trip To Merseyside For All Dahlia Society's

Was a day out that the Merseyside Dahlia society had invited for us to be host to their hospitality,
and so it was. It was arranged that I pick up a twelve seat minibus so we go down there as a society we managed to a good half dozen, so we spread our selves out to make it look full “it worked” everybody had a double seat bar me I was driving.  Armed with my auto route
destructions arrived on Merseyside without a hitch until we arrived at Liverpool ST, the wrong street. after a few sweaty collars we finally arrived at the Seaforth club home of the Merseyside club, we were greeted with open arms and smiling faces, Ivor Jones, Stuart Clensy, Ron Rimmer, to mention a few. The meeting its self was a little bit disappointing it warranted more support than what it got. It didn’t dampen our spirits though, we througherly enjoyed ourselves, superb entertainment throughout the day, a talk on Dahlias by Barry Smith was first class with plenty of ideas to chew on, a quiz hosted by Dave Read, and of cause it would not do to not mention the hospitality of the Merseyside ladies and members for the spread they put on for us was truly out of this world. This might sound like an old record, but if you missed this one you missed a treat, I can go on and on about this day but I am running out of space, so all that remains to be said from us The Northwestern Dahlia Society is Thank You Merseyside for a smashing day out you done us proud.
