Hi Simon
I had the chance to attend the Vancouver Convention. My husband and I bought a motorhome in Alberta in May 2009 and travelled on the western side of Canada and Alasks until the end of September 09. We stored it at a friend's place in BC and returned on May 5, 2010 and travelled across Canada and a couple of the US states. Eventually we sold it in Nova Scotia before returning home on September 15th.

The Vancouver conference was very good - but expensive. I particularly enjoyed MInter Gardens although the roses were wrongly labelled. Billy Graham was labelled Betty Boop. I can't think of two more unlikely matches. I personally met Billy Graham when he visited Qld as my father was the christian minister in charge of his visit here. I grow Betty Boop and like her a lot.

Oh Bonita, I couldn't agree with you more even though I am only familiar with BG as a person and BB as a rose
