Shaftesbury's Inaugural Snowdrop Study, Sale & Social Day 15th February 2014

[Tim Ingram]

I would love to come, but we are opening our garden the following day. It would be fascinating to hear about Primrose Warburg's garden from John Grimshaw. What a brilliant event, and what brilliant support from the SRGC and Forum.

My goodness Emma that was quick work!!

Did you have a left over 'New Years Eve' rocket to sit on?

[Mavers]

Just purchased my ticket

I find the concept of New Year's Eve strange , surely we should be happy for every new day we have .

Glad your have your ticket Mike.


There are a few glitches with the ticket sales at the moment so bear with us , it's going to be sorted ASAP

Goodness Emma, you and your mate should be setting up as organizers of huge, international events. Your Snowdrop Event is no sooner though of than speakers and venues arranged, publicity out in the wider domain and tickets on sale, presumably with costings done and details thought out so thoroughly. Other events take months or even years to get off the ground. You have done it all in the quickest time I've ever heard of. Well done and many congratulations. I and all the others who'd like to attend but can't, will look forward to hearing and seeing all about it here, on the Forum. Best wishes for a huge success with your new initiative.

[emma T]

Thanks Lesley

We just hope people want to come !

Thanks Mark

If people can spread the word that'd be awesome

[Mavers]

Phew just had a 'orrible thought that Emma's day clashed with the HPS day.

Just checked & it's OK, Emma's Saturday & the HPS is on Sunday......gonna be a busy weekend.

[emma T]

No it doesn't clash ! I'm going to be sleeping a lot on the mini bus to HPS day !

[Brian Ellis]

I only wish I could go to both

I only wish I could go to both

The HPS event on Sunday 16th February is about 2.5 hours by car from Shaftesbury where the Emma's event is being held on the previous day.  That's quite convenient for anyone who plans to attend both events and can afford the cost of an overnight stop-over somewhere in between.

Just bought my ticket Emma,  what a great idea and close to home.  My garden is open the day before for the National Garden Scheme, ( Cherubeer Gardens , Devon ) Feb 14th so if anyone is visiting the southwest first 

Thanks Mark for sending me the link, I haven't been keeping an eye on the forum yet this year.  Too busy in the garden which is very early so far.

[emma T]

Thanks Jo , you get a kissy face smiley too

People should be able to use their smart phones to buy tickets from the website now , I think that's one glitch fixed . There maybe more , we are all a bit new to this
