I remember complaining that we were not really on the snowdrop map, i was very pleased (more like over the moon  ) when CGS confirmed, look forward to seeing everyone on the day

Richard you've been very much on the map of the Forum Galanthophiles for ages  - it is nice that the rest of the world is catching up!!
