Hello Aberdeen,
Hope you have a good meeting.Is it true that when it gets to raffle time and the tickets come out everyone rushes for the loo? ;D Are Roma and/or Angie there?
-
Ah, I did, but when I wrote it I didn't know there was a special thread so you'll all have to look at my thread "Hello Aberdeen"
I'm really having a good Halloween, we laid in a stock of mini chocolate bars and not a soul has been to the door so I'm working to the first Law of the SRGC Forum ""YOU NEED CHOCOLATE< YOU SHALL EAT CHOCOLATE< 'COS MAGGI SAYS SO""
-
No Chocolate here David.
-
Yes Roma and Angie are here and say hello.
-
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There must be, Maggi's there :-*
-
Hello Roma, how are you ponies? You had some very good Cyclamen this season so far.
Hello Angie I got an Haemanthus albiflos from Yann I've read so much about them on the Forum and thought I would have a go.
-
Greetings from all in Aberdeen, we are off for tea and cake now.

Hi David
We had a great night here in Aberdeen. Ian and Maggi gave the club a detailed look at the forum and how it works. . So many club members don’t take part a shame as it such fun, they don’t know what they are missing. It’s so nice to get together again after our summer break.
You will enjoy growing your Haemanthus albiflos. I got lots of bulbils from Hans J and they are filling up my greenhouse fast ;D will look forward to your pictures.
Angie :)

What a good idea to show your local group how the forum works. I know that very few of my local group use it - yet they all have internet access. Must try to fit this into our programme somehow!
-
We were showing just how much information is contained in the Forum and SRGC Website - the Archibald Archive and the photo of those plants, Local Group info, the Crocus Pages, all the archived articles, the SRGC Journals and the IRG and Bulb Logs, and all the Index pdfs for those, the Seed ID pictures, the SRGC Grants info, Tour and trip reports, show reports, practical advice on making frames, troughs, glasshouses etc, the list is endless really - there are few sites with so much accessible plant and garden information with internationally based advice on tap.
SRGC online rocks !! Spread the news!!

Before the NARGS site had the big change over and decimated the forum, I, too, did a presentation introducing the NARGS forum and the SRGC to my local Chapter. It was easy to tout the many benefits, but in the end people still clung to their Facebook! ::)

Exactly- Maggi's there - ergo all the choc is already scoffed!

There is no doubt that the ease of posting to Facebook with smart phones etc and the gratification of all those "likes" is something that draws a number of folks to those pages, Rick - that is why the SRGC maintains a presence there and on Twitter and Instagram, to make ourselves seen in those places - but happily, those places cannot compete with the resource for archived, searchable information for which the likes of this website have been the front runners.
The continuing delights of Roberts Californian travels, the photos of Archibald plants and the Seed ID threads to name just three greats on this forum, not to mention all the other resources of the website, supported so well by the many thousands accessing the Bulb Log each week and the IRG each month continue to build this place into a remarkable source of information, knowledge and advice from around the world, to the world. Open to all.
I say it again, Scottish Rock online Rocks!!

I voice with Maggi to hundred percent. I am no member in Facebook, from conviction. This forum is irreplaceable.
Scottish Rock online Rocks!
...or in other words..."keep on rockin in the free world"
