Hi Niall,

No I didn't go this year.  I went last year, and like you was
disappointed.  The best thing about it was the vegetable thai curry they
were selling.  I thought they could have sorted the chillies into species
perhaps:  chinense, baccatum, annuum, etc etc, and given more information.
I also found that a lot of unusual chillies that I was hoping to see were
not there, and generally, considering that this is supposed to be the
national chilli collection, it was a bit poor.
