Northampton & Milton Keynes Branch, Zone 6

We are a local branch of the National Society with members from west Northamptonshire, Bedford and the Milton Keynes area.

We hold monthly meetings in Northampton and Milton Keynes, with guest speakers, presentations, quizzes, demonstrations, shows, open days at members’ collections and other social events.

Our Branch and its members also participate in events organised by Zone 6 (the South Midlands zone of the Society), as well as National Society events.

We sometimes offer plants for sale at meetings, and there is an extensive lending library with a wide selection of books and journals available for Branch members.

Visitors, and members of other branches of the BCSS, are always 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 on the first Friday of most months

starting at 7.15 pm, at either:

Abington Community Centre,

Wheatfield Road South,

NORTHAMPTON (see map)

NN3 2HH (see Google map)

Woolstone Community Centre
