Title: Irish Galanthus Gala
Post by: mark smyth on February 07, 2010, 02:31:16 PM: Yes I know this has been going round for years but ..

Would you, in the UK, Ireland or Europe, come to Ireland - north or south - for a snowdrop event? All I need to know for now is

you would consider coming over or you have no interest.

Lurkers this applies for you also......

sadly, Guests/"Lurkers" cannot access the poll button, but registered forumists can do so..

Edit later : Okay, we'll abandon the poll idea.... I thought Mark just wanted to know how many might attend , but it seems it would be a better idea to contact him!

I made soup and rolls and cake and sold lots of snowdrops and I can't think of a better way to spend a day in Feb. :-*

Post by: Jo on February 07, 2010, 05:53:48 PM: Haha Mark,

if that was the case I might stand a chance of bidding at the Gala auction ;D ;D It actually goes to Macmillan and Marie Curie among other 'caring' charities, but I know you know that :)
