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

[emma T]

sorry ive been a bit quiet, no internet 

tickets are selling slow and steady . im not quite panicking about not selling enough to cover our costs just yet   

Matt told me his own events took 6 weeks to sell out !

its shaping up to be a fun day .

i think weve got 7 or 8 people lined up to sell snowdrops in our sale, Matt Bishop, Avon bulbs ,Woodchippings, Jenny Homewood ,Ivycroft, Evolution Plants  + a couple more whos names have escaped me .  . We are having some lovely cakes made too

 FANTASTIC!!!   Couldn't be better - I do think this will be a day not to miss 

A perfect alternative for those missing the Gala.

they just need to buy the tickets  !!!!!!!

I'm sure you'll get ticket sales as more people hear about it, Emma.  You just need to make sure there is publicity at every other snowdrop event prior to yours.  I've promised to take some information along to the AGS Snowdrop day on 1st February and I could also do Roger Harvey's sale on 8th February, if Roger does not mind.  Do you have the Blacksmith's Cottage Snowdrop day covered?  It's a bit of a cross-country slog for me so I probably won't get to that one but I'm sure there will be forumists there - or perhaps you could send something through the post.

I'll be at Blacksmith's and I'm sure Ben will be happy to announce it, if you've got fliers I'll take 'em.

[Maggi Young]

I've got a pdf of the flier, Brian - I'll email it to you if you could print out a couple  -
 I'll prepare something in black and white that is easier to print, too!

[Brian Ellis]

It's not here yet Maggi 

[Maggi Young]

It's not here yet Maggi 

 It should be now!

[Brian Ellis]

Indeed it is, forgot to log on and say so. my apologies.

[Maggi Young]

I expect you were sensibly employed eating supper, Brian -  thanks very much for your offer of help
 

[Maggi Young]

Emma : how are ticket sales going now?

[emma T]

I'm going to go see Pam tonight , I will ask her then . Fingers crossed they are selling tickets !

[Brian Ellis]

We put fliers on the tables and posters up at Blacksmiths Day, one person has already asked me whether I thought it was worth it (the lady with the nails) so hopefully there was more interest too.

[emma T]

I think it's worth it !  but I might be biased
