Northampton & Milton Keynes Branch

We are a local branch of the National Society which holds monthly meetings in Northampton with members from west Northamptonshire, Bedford and the Milton Keynes area. We have guest speakers, slide presentations, quizzes, demonstrations, open days at members’ collections and other social events.

Our members also participate in events organised by Zone 6, the thriving South Midlands Zone of the National Society.

At our meetings we offer plants for sale. For society members there is an extensive lending library with a wide selection of books and journals. We produce a magazine  three times a year and a monthly bulletin to keep you in touch with branch events and other topical matters of interest.

Members of other branches of the BCSS and visitors are welcome at our meetings.

We hope that you will read this web page and make contact with others in the area who are interested in growing cacti and other succulent plants.

Meetings are held at:

Abington Community Centre,

Wheatfield Road South,

NORTHAMPTON (see map)

NN3 2HH (see Google map)

at 7.30 pm on the first Friday of most months
