Mid Anglia AGS Bulb Sale

[Maggi Young]

Good point, Art:  suppose you could all be wearing your SRGC tops, if you had 'em !! Bit early fora snowdrop buttonhole....

[Paul T]

Mark
Who are John,Alan, David and Tony?  I would like to meet you all at the Bulb Sale, but I need to know who I am looking for. 
Arthur

Arthur,

Id be guessing (perhaps incorrectly) that they would be John Forrest, Alan Grainger, David Nicholson and Tony Goode?

[mark smyth]

Tony Goode
Alan B - into snowdrops
John Finch - maybe too far for John to make it
I cant remember which David I'm refering to.

If you live in the south east it will be very worth while to make the journey

[Paul T]

Mark,

You're supposed to remember who you mention in your own emails.    Makes it much harder for everyone else to work out who you're talking about when even YOU can't!! 

Well I got ONE right anyway. 

[mark smyth]

You want me to remember what I was thinking of in February! I can hardy remember last week LOL

I do have selective bad memory. I can remember for 6 months the date of the bulb sale but I cant remember what I was sent to buy at the local shop

[Paul T]

Sorry, who were you again? 

[mark smyth]

good question - sometimes called Sparky, Marco Polo and Marcus Arelius by friends

[David Nicholson]

Just a point on SRGC tops. I thought I had read in the last 'The Rock Garden' that details of all the SRGC merchandise could be found on the Main Page of the Web Site? I can't find it! I am sure that many us who find it very difficult to participate in Club activities, for geographical reasons mostly, would welcome the possibility of buying the odd top or bobble hat in order to feel more part of the Club.  Surely the Club is missing out on a very useful income stream here.

[Paul T]

Um... what's a "bobble hat"?

[rob krejzl]

what's a "bobble hat"?

Paul,

Think bogan. Think of the customary headgear of a recently departed gardening presenter - then add a bobble on top.

[Paul T]

If you're meaning "recently departed" as in from the TV show, and not from the living, I think I know what you mean.  Sort of like a woolly beany with a ball on top, or something like that?  All I could picture were bobble head toys, like the noddy dogs for your car windows.

[mark smyth]

I'm now back. I heard Brian Ellis was there but I didnt see him. I did meet Luc and his friend Luc and Arthur. All good guys

[Brian Ellis]

Nice to meet Luc briefly and to chat to David, missed you to Mark and Art - my apologies but we had to get back to Norwich for 4pm so couldn't stay for the auction - despite wanting most of the lots!!

[Brian Ellis]

Any idea of the results of the auction anyone?

[mark smyth]

I kept well away from it only to hear after it was over there was a G. krasnovii auctioned. It sold for £27. I would have raised it to £30
