Here are some examples of Potato Days in the UK where community and home gardeners can buy samples or larger amounts of wide varieties of seed potatoes from central locations. Some community gardens charter buses for their members to attend regional Potato Days.
Info on London one is at http://mysite.freeserve.com/potatofair04 85+ varieties Full list of Potato Fairs at www.hhdra.org.uk/potato.htm#days with notes on varied activities that are included. An example of a detailed announcement for a day at Ryton http://www.hdra.org.uk/news/news_topic.php?id=35 including the full program and the Potato Menu http://www.hdra.org.uk/pdfs/PotatoDay2004.pdf and they even have a contest to find the person most knowledgeable about potatoes who will reign as the Potato Head for the next year http://www.hdra.org.uk/news/news_topic.php?id=25 Although I don't see any in this list, I have sometimes seen that groups will have garlic in addition to the potatoes.
