A "baby" is celebrating his first birthday
[attach=2]
Today our Friends in the Vlaamse Rotsplanten Vereniging (Flemish Rock Garden Club) celebrate the first anniversary of the start of their Forum - congratulations from the SRGC F orum to our chums.... many of whom are also members here, of course. What a great year they have had for their forum.... they will surely go from strength to strength as the years roll by.
See the VRV Forum here:

We wish you.......

Maggi,
Nice pics over there, but they all speak foreign-like. ;D ;D A lot of familiar names there though.
Congrats to the forum, even if I can't read you. ;) The more gardeners, the merrier the world will be. 8)

Funnily enough, Paul, that's exactly what they say about this place.... nice pix but we all speak foreign like!
See how much we have in common? ;D
No wonder we gardeners all get on so well.... and it's not just because of a shared love of cake! ;) 8)

You left me speechless Maggi... (which doesn't happen all that often... ;D)
Thank you so much for your warm whishes in the name of all the VRV members !
We are so proud we took up the challenge a year ago to try and follow the marvelous example of the SRGC forum !
It was a brilliant idea ! :D
Yes Paul, we do talk a "funny" language, but it's our own and for many people that's quite important... ;)

She is good, isn't she ;D 8)

Sometimes even for me too ::) ::) :-X

Maggi and Paul,
thank you very much for the B-day wishes. :-* :-* We're very happy with our one-year-old.
It's very nice to see him growing every day.

We can all be good with great helpers, Luit! :-*

Gongratulations .. I didn't know about this forum till today. I joined right away. I can read the language fairly well, ;) but I'm not so good at writing and talking.

Gefeliciteerd met je eerste verjaardag!
Ik zal ook meedoen

Luc,
And your language probably makes a lot more sense than English, where we have spelling and rules that regularly contradict other spelling and rules etc. ;D
Glad your forum is going strong. I can only imagine how bad I'd be at trying to pick up a language other than my native one, and then contribute usefully to it as you all do on this forum. 8)

Congratulations Wim!
At NARGS Forum, we too celebrated our 1 year anniversary just 12 days ago... but sadly, no cake and bubbly :'(.
As a reminder, we opened up registration to anyone who wishes to join:

Oh dear .... we missed the NARGS party..... certainly was a quiet affair .....perhaps we can have a better event when the weather improves? ;)
The achievement of the VRV to get such a vibrant Forum after only one year with such a tiny overall membership as they have is really rather remarkable.

Magnar and Frazer,
you're both more than welcome at our young forum. We're always happy when some friends from overseas join in.

Thanks Marc. I'm not alone in it though. Luc G. is the Admin and Moderator of the forum while I'm the Admin of the website.
Congratulations to you and all the Admins and Moderators of your forum too.
-
Thanks for all the kind words everybody ! :D
We're more than happy to welcome you all on our forum as well... and "google" can be a great help in translating whatever we're discussing... ;)
Everybody is also free to post in english - no obstacles there...
Noticed your registration Magnar, don't hesitate to knock and come in ! ;D

Oh, I am terribly remiss in not also congratulating Luc too, I didn't realize Luc that you were the forum Admin/Moderator, so hearty congratulations to you both... it can be a lot of work. AS I write this message, I have another window open to download and install Google Translate on Firefox, so that I can see and read what you guys are up to. :)

Update, the Google Translate plugin for Firefox does not seem to work for Dutch on the VRV Forum, however when I try it using Internet Explorer, the plugin does work and I can read the forum. :D
Update2: There are 3 separate Google Translate plugins for Firefox, two that translate selected text (gTranslate, and Google Translator for FireFox) and one that will translate whole web pages (gTranslator). Installing gTranslator plugin, it does work to translate Dutch to English on VRV Forum, the only downside is that one must click a translate button on each page loaded, versus the version of the plugin for Internet Explorer where there's an option to tell it to *always* translate when it detects a certain language.
I share this here in case anyone else wants to peruse the VRV Forum pages; certainly worthwhile, lots of fantastic photos posted, so it's useful to know what is being said. :D

Cheers, prosit, salut, nyuk-nyuk!
-
An excellent Forum run by wonderful people and having excellent growers amongst their members.
-
Thanks for the kind words everybody !!! :D :D
We'll do our best to keep things going steadily but surely !
Thanks for teaching the world how to translate Flemish Mc Mark !! ;) Fortunately, the images speak for themselves don't they !

I suggest that bottle of champagne sometimes drink together Maggi.

In Firefox go to the Tools pulldown menu > Add-Ons > Get Add-Ons > a few add-ons show up in the dialog box...on the right click on Browse All Add-ons > Categories > Language Support > select gTranslator (not gTranslate) and allow it to install. After it installs go to Tools > Add-Ons > Extensions > select gTranslator > Options, and select options about where the gTranslate buttons show up. See two screen captures below. And Kris, congratulations to you as well, only just learning who is involved with the young VRV Forum. :D
