So am I  right in thinking we have:
Chas, John , Alan B, Art, Mark, Martin, Emma T and Melvyn J  in the line up?  I know that David Q was also there, anyone else?

chasw, KentGardener, Alan_b, art600, mark smyth, Martin Baxendale, emma T, Melvyn Jope
to give them their 'proper' names.

Jo features in pictures 2 & 3.

Also there: David Quinton, jamouatt, michael broadhurst, steve owen and I'm pretty sure there was somebody else who I'm not remembering at the moment.

It's always interesting to see pics of forumists.
Mark, I love your jumper, it looks soft and cuddly, is it lambswool?
I love the colour.

Carol Smith was there

Lambs wool jumper? No way. Wool makes me itch and I come out in red blotches. It's a mix of cotton, acrylic and polyamide whatever that is.

Did anyone buy Lord Kitchener or the brilliant scented green tipped elwesii? The first from the new person and the elwesii from Simon 'Mr Spoons' Savage?

Way too many over priced snowdrops there arounf £50. All EA Bowles sold at £150 each.
