Black Isle Horticultural Society

Annual General Meeting

Please note that we’ve had to change the date of our Annual General Meeting – it will now be held on Tuesday 2^nd December at 7:30 pm in the Committee Room of the Gordon Memorial Hall in Rosemarkie. Contact us for further details.

Trophies at our Summer Show – just rewards or a waste of time and money?

We want to know what people think about trophies at our Summer Show. Trophies have been an important part of our Summer Show for many years and reward competitors for their efforts, but they’re expensive to engrave and maintain, and can be seen as outdated. Do you think they should be kept because they’re important, retired when they have no space left to engrave names on, or replaced with something else?

You can just send us your thoughts here, but we’d prefer it if you read the full details in this Long version and respond to it. Either way, please reply by Monday 24^th November 2025.

About us

The Black Isle Horticultural Society is a community group that holds a friendly local Summer Show, with exhibitors mainly from the Black Isle. There are classes for Cut Flowers, Pot Plants, Fruit, Vegetables, Baking, Preserves, Crafts, and Photographs. We've also got a section for under 14s, a Novice section for people who haven't entered or won before, and we have a new class for Botanical Illustration. We particularly welcome new visitors and exhibitors. You can find out more about the Show here.

We also run a very popular spring Plant Sale, with a wide range of interesting plants, including some unusual ones. You can find more details here.

The BIHS is run by a small committee of volunteers, who meet to organise our events. If you want to find out more about the Society, to help with our events, or have any questions, please get in touch using our Feedback page.
