Snowdrops and cake 2013, Sun March 3rd at Benington Lordship

[RichardW]

With everything being so late here have decided to squeeze in a forumists meet before I go away, not sure if there is another event that day? but it's the only sunday I can do. Don't know if the gardens will be still be open but so much is still yet to flower I'm sure everything willl be looking nice.

Usual format, no charge to get in & I will provide tea and coffee, please bring a cake if you can and any drops you are interested in swapping, will be using the tea room but numbers are limited to keep it free!

Hi Richard

Thank you most kindly for offering your place again for an SRGC snowdrop get together.

I hope to be there (lift from someone permitting).

Sadly I have given away most of the spare stuff I had to dispose of this year as I didn't think there was to be a Bennignton day - but I am sure I will find a pot or two to bring along for splitting up and passing around. 

I don't often have a sweet tooth - but who brought those fantastic savoury cheese scones before (salivating now just thinking about them).

The cheese scones were made by Jennie I believe,would love to be there ,but am afraid I am working that night

[RichardW]

John, I really wanted to do another meet here in Feb but workload was piling up and I decided over Xmas I was going to spend less time running around at weekends and more time putting my feet up 

Only problem is now cancelled groups are re booking and my other plans are going wrong  As it is there's still very little to see here so early March is probably going to be the peak week, can bribe Maddie to make some cheese scones.....

Sorry you can't make it Chas, still hope to visit in a few weeks

Would love to come and happy to bring cake.

Thanks Richard, I thoroughly enjoyed your get togethers both last year and the year before and would love to come along again. Having said that - if you have too many people I will stand aside and let somebody else have a turn. I will bring along some drops and a cake.

I can easily stop off at Stevenage station and pick up anybody who wants to come by public transport.

Hi Richard
Would love to come (also lift permitting  )  If I can get there I will willingly make some cheese scones - glad to hear you liked them so much John!  Under snow here again and the snowdrops in the conservatory are not lasting long.

For some reason the garden is closing after this weekend  so it'll be easier to base this at my house (just over the road) does mean I won't be able to squeeze so many in but no problem with numbers so far if anyone else wants to come, cold weather looks set to continue so should still be looking nice next weekend.

Could also now do Sat 2nd if that's better/more convenient.

Sat 2nd is the AGS Early Spring Show at Harlow - conflict will give some people a dilemma.

As you know I hope to be with you - this will also mean John & Jennie - will have to see how things are.

OK thanks for letting me know, Sunday it is then.

I would also like to attend, space permitting (but I could not have made 2nd March).  I don't think I have anything in the way of snowdrops to bring this year but it's a great social event. 

[Gail]

Happy with Sunday! 

[RichardW]

room for 1 more.

should warn everyone I have a hyperactive but very friendly Cocker Spaniel just in case anyone doesn't like/has fear of dogs.

[RichardW]

No more room, will pm everyone later in week.

[RichardW]

Sent message to everyone, if you didn't get one let me know.
