Just checking.  Is it the Vincent Square location I need for the Snowdrop sales?

[Maggi Young]

This should help.....

Thank you Maggie, the map is just what I need.

I think Chas was telling me to make sure I went to the Plant Hall first not the Design Hall.  One is in Vincent Square (Plants I think)  the other in Greycote St.

[Ding Dong]

Jacqueline - we are in the hall in Greycoat Street. Haven't looked in the Vincent Square one yet, but that's where the design stuff is.

[Maggi Young]

Great, an expert to the rescue!!  Thanks, DD 

[JacquelineJ]

OOOOPs Change of plan ... Thanks Ding Dong, I was obviously heading for the wrong venue,  Greycote St. it is, snowdrop heaven  Hope to meet you tomorrow!

[KentGardener]

I'll be there.

Have just realised that this will be the first year I have had to pay to get in as I've let my RHS membership lapse.

Well finally arrived home at 6.50 this evening,a really good day and so good to see so many forum members there ,no doubt pictures will appear later,both Jan and I are worn out 

[Maggi Young]

You surely deserve an evening off, Chas - I hope you haven't made Jan make your supper? Fish and chips are called for after a busy day like that then feet up!

Cor! A great day- inside and out- super pix Melvyn. How marvelous that Avon did make a Gold, even after the worry about the date.
Can't believe that those forumists managed to be photographed beside a stand of lilies, though

Looks a great day, sorry I was working. Emma and Jacqueline both look laden down. Can you reveal what was in those bags?
