Hi Marianne,  I misunderstood your question initially.
I think your activation email may have  got caught up in your SPAM filter-  I've activated your account now and you can log in here

Best wishes,

Sadly, the payment system rejects both my credit cards, despite ample funds being available and all information precisely correct.

Hi Maggie,
I have registered for the seed exchange,but so far no conformation email back to allow me to order my seeds online.
how long should it take for the conformation to come back.
best wishes JohnBartush.

Hi John, I have activated your seed account for you so you can get started now !

General note : The  Activation link email goes out pretty much at the same time as you register -  if you don't get in a a few minutes, it has likely become caught in your email SPAM filter - This happens sometimes because IT IS AN AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED EMAIL and SPAM Filters like to hold on to those!  So, if it hasn't arrived, check your email system's Spam filter.

Glad to hear  now that Tom's bank was just  being extra vigilant in case there was a fraud being  attempted from the UK.
All is now well!

Hi Maggie,

Happy to help, John. 

All over the UK there will be folks beavering away at the minute to get the seed packeted ready for the distribution in January and February.  You can recognise them - they're the ones with a crick in their neck and crossed eyes from bending over seed for hours on end!!
Of course none of it could happen without the seed donors in the first place - it's a massive collaborative effort, to be sure by the time it is all done and dusted!

At five minutes to midnight, Maggi, this packeter was asleep in bed!

You haven't put your forum clock back, David, my message was just before 11pm --- mind you, I expect sensible folk were already in bed, even then!!

Our group at Belford will be getting boxes of seed to packet tomorrow.  We did packeting (of approx 1,000 per box) for nearly 40 of the boxes (don't know how many boxes there would be in total). if I remember rightly last year.  Ian Pryde will be bringing down the boxes and we take them back to our December meeting and he gets them to the place where the orders are filled in Jan.  You are quite right Maggi, a willing army of volunteers make this thing happen, from the all important gathering & cleaning, to sending in to our co-ordinator, to packeting, and finally distribution.  Its a magnificent example of team spirit!  I love being part of it all.

Good evening Maggie,
I registered and I´ve got the activation link. Nevertheless I can't login.

[Maggi Young]

Susanne, there is no sign you have registered for the seed exchange.

 As the notes explain here:  http://www.srgc.net/site/index.php/extensions/seed-exchange  you can see it is necessary to make a special seed exchange registration and so on, from the links on that page.

added :   This must be done each year.
