Jos Atkinson, 25A Yellow. A Peter Fraser raising, a big yellow intermediate that looks to have both size and form to make it on the show bench. 

Clive Skinner, 25B Pink. A tight medium intermediate, a Bill Hannah raising.

Jessica Lynn, 25B Light Pink. Another from Bill Hannah, appears to be a very solid flower.

Cream John Wingfield, 24B Cream. Likely to follow all the other Wingfields and be a winner on the show bench. Early thoughts suggest it will be equally as good as the other Wingfields. 

Cream Egret, 23B Cream. If you are a fan of Egret than this is one for you to try. 

Charlie Galimore, 24 B Pink. A lovely pink medium reflex bred by Harry Lawson. Looks promising, has good form. Named after the well known northern grower.

Southway Snowcat, 29D White Single. A good prospect for the show bench. 

Caukeel Cadet, 29C Red Double. A neat flower recommended for cutting.

Miss Marion, 29C Cream Double. Brings plenty of well spaced blooms per stem, should make a show flower, and also good for cut flower. 

Southway Summit, 29D Light Bronze Single. A lovely neat bloom for cutting and show. 

Myss Carol, 29C Yellow Double. A good prospect with 5 or 6 blooms per head. A potential winner. 

Mary's Miracle, 14A Pink. A huge bloom that will not be short on size,  Bred from Dorridge Crystal with all proceeds going to The Chemotherapy unit of Walsall Manor Hospital. Could possibly be grown as a late on 2nd crown.
