If i remember correctly last year some people were mentioning a potato day where you could go and try lots of different varieties of potato... does anyone else remember that, or know whether there are any of these potato days this year :-\

Hi Sparky - yes!
HDRA have theirs on 29th and 30th Jan (http://www.hdra.org.uk/news/news_topic.php?id=115) - but there are several more around the country; the Hampshire HDRA have a listing of some (all?) on http://www.hhdra.org.uk/potato.htm#days
Good luck - great place to pick just a few each of all sorts of interesting spuds.

Brilliant!! Thanks for that Gavin, think i'll be paying them a visit!! :) :)
Gavin,
Thanks for plugging my site - I was busy preparing to be happy and jolly
The biggest (in terms of quantity of varieties >120 incl Sarpo Axona and Sarpo Mira + >20 organic) and best (in terms of other things on offer) is, of course, the Hampshire Day
For some reason Ryton has moved its day to clash but it's also on 29 and 30th Jan full details www.hhdra.org.uk/potatoday.htm (http://www.hhdra.org.uk/potatoday.htm)

And it's cheaper than Ryton - only £2!
Seriously - support your local Potato Day there are now 11 confirmed up and down the country
