The Tulip Society Officers work to manage and promote the aims of the society on behalf of its members. The Committee is elected each year in October at the Annual General Meeting, and the Committee meet at intervals through the year to organise the society’s shows and events, discuss items of interest and resolve its day to day administration.

New Members
New Members should enclose Name / Address / Email Address and Telephone Number. If we can issue letters and correspondence to you by email, it is faster and more efficient, and saves the Society money in postage costs. Please also tell us if you are interested in growing and showing English Florist Tulips when you make a new application.
English Florist Tulip bulbs are not available commercially, but a limited number of bulbs are made available for new members each year who are keen to grow and show tulips. Other members of the Society contribute these. New showing members are encouraged to bring the flowers from their bulbs, however small, to the Annual Show, where there is a section for Novices. Other members will then be able to give advice on growing and showing techniques.
