The 19th
Cactus Explorers Club Meeting
July 31st –  August 2nd 2026
The Leicester Marriott Hotel
(next to M1 junction 21)

A weekend of good company with
about 15 talks including overseas
speaker Volker Schädlich.  A good
place to meet old friends and make
new ones in a relaxed environment.
The talks will give you a more in-
depth view of particular cacti or
specific places. The informal
atmosphere encourages discussion
and there is ample opportunity to
meet the speakers.
The price for the weekend is £323 per
person for a single room, £283 for
double or shared
which includes two
nights in en-suite hotel-quality rooms,
all meals, wine with dinners,
refreshments, and use of the meeting
rooms.
There will be sales of plants, literature
and seeds available to delegates and
free table space for vendors.
Please email me and I will send you an
invitation.
