The Haworthia Society usually organizes one, UK based, main event per year. These events are, alternately:
A Show and a Lecture, combined with the Biennial General Meeting.
A Weekend Convention, normally held in Leicester.
The Eleventh Haworthia Society Convention will be held from Friday 21st October to Sunday 23rd October 2011 at the Hilton Hotel Leicester.
This year sees the 25th Aniversery of the Society and to celebrate this we have put together a bumber convention.

- Diederik Van den Abbeele from Belgium who give talks on his trips to South Africa.
- Robert Whellens who will enlighten us further on his tissue culture techniques.
- Stuart Riley will give talks on Gasteria Hybrids from round the world and also new miniature Aloe hybrids.
- The auction will as usual be the highlight of Saturday evening and will feature five original works of art including one by Gerhard Marx as well as the usual selection of fine plants.

The Haworthia Society's next Biennial General Meeting & Show will be held in Birmingham, in October, 2012.
This event will, as usual, be held in conjunction with the Birmingham BCSS Branch Cactus & Succulent Show at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
This will make a good day out as there will be both Shows to see, together with the Haworthia Society General Meeting and a Talk. Also, you won't want to miss the Trade Stalls. For UK members, Schedules for the Show will be included in the June edition of the Journal.
