I thought it about time that I joined the forum proper having lurked for many years.
I have been collecting Cacti off and on since I was 13 (many years ago) but more seriously since I move to Suffolk in 2000 and joined the South Norfolk Branch. I always think I collect mostly cacti but over the years more and more succulents have appeared in my greenhouse. I suppose I mostly like Astrophytum, Arios, some mamms and Chilean/south American cacti. On the succulent front Mesembs, Asclepiads and Adromischus. I have got the Echinopsis hybrid bug recently and tried to contact the swap circle but have not got a reply from the emails I found on the Manchester webpage. Maybe it’s not a bad thing as I have run out of room again.

Re: Hello
Hi Gary,
I'm concerned that you've had no reply to your requests about the Echinopsis Swap Circle. maybe some of the members on this forum could comment on whether these contact details are correct.

Re: Hello
Hi Gary and Phil
The info is correct re the swap circle, I have been informed today Elizabeth is quite busy with one thing and another at the moment, and I'm sure she will be replying to emails as and when she gets some free time. Hold in there
Hope this helps
Best regards
Dave

In the Olympian spirit I thought I still might enter.
I will see you Sunday, particularly now I know what you look like.
