The 'inner segments' have snowdrop lunches, which all sounds rather formal.  I think the idea of an informal snowdrop tea-and-cakes is much better!
Almost in Scotland.

Snowdrop tea & cake for people who don't do lunches.

If I can make it I will be there Richard - tea and cake sounds a most excellent idea.

excellent, plan will be to aim for 2nd/3rd weekend in Feb, I'll have to fit this around groups that book tours & teas & think it would best to aim for a mid/late morning start, it often gets very busy at weekends.

depending on numbers I might need to borrow the tea room but that shouldn't be a problem, should have a rough idea of bookings after xmas & will post here with more details nearer the time.

Are already penty of events & shows but I would be happy to host a more "informal" meet here (Benington Lordship in Herts) next year if anyone is interested? no cost, no tickets, no sales tables ... ;) just turn up, cuppa cake & chat and enjoy the drops.

What a kind offer Richard - that sounds lovely.  If others are interested I'll bring the cake!

And I'll eat it  :)
