SRGC Seed Exchange 2021 - 22

[JohnMcMillan]

I've just got my paper seedlist in the post, but it is misprinted. Pages 11-22 are missing and replaced with duplicates of other pages.  No worry.  I can work with the downloadable .xls file, but is there a downloadable .pdf file somewhere?  I can't see it at the obvious place https://www.srgc.net/seedlistarchive.asp.

[Richard Green]

Sorry, it seems that unfortunately a batch of seed lists were misprinted, and sent out.  I have spare correctly printed copies, and anyone wishing a duplicate posted out immediately should email me at rkpgreen(at)aol.com.

This year's Seed List is not yet on the Archive page yet because it is still a current list available from a link on the current Seed List page.
Here is the link to a pdf copy:
https://www.srgc.net/seedlists/SRGCseedlist75.pdf,
and I have now added some bold emphasis to the link on the Seed List page to make it stand out.

[JohnMcMillan]

Thanks. Got it.  I find pdf much easier to work with than either xls or paper.

[Richard Green]

I seem to spend my time apologising on this thread - sorry for that!

We currently have logging in errors on our srgc.net website, and we have had these for maybe the last 2 hours. 

Our computer man is on the case (yes, it is after 10pm on a Saturday night!) and he is trying to organise a fix. 

Please bear with us until we can work out the problem, and I shall post again once I hear any further news.

[Richard Green]

Sorry guys and lassies, it seems there is a problem with our hosting server.  Our computer man thinks we are going to have to stop logins to our website to avoid causing errors in our seed ordering process.

We have put in a call to the web-hosting company and shall see what they say tomorrow so we can get back up and running as fast as possible, so you can continue to order your seeds.

More news will be posted here as soon as it becomes available.

Hi,

Saw the login page was back up. Still getting 'no registered member with that email address'. Anyone else having this problem? (have emailed membership@)

Lots of payment notices for seed coming through, so not a general problem I don't think. Have you changed the email address you registered with, perhaps?

[Richard Green]

Online seed ordering is running well, with some intermittent speed problems that we are trying to sort out.

If you get the message as described, it means you didn't previously give us permission to store your email address, as requested on each Journal wrapper for the last couple of years.

To fix this just email us and we shall add your address to the system.

how long can you still order

how long can you still order

All the information can be found on the seed exchange welcome page https://www.srgc.net/welcome_seed_exchange.asp.

Where it states  'The last date for placing orders will be midnight (GMT) on 17 January 2022' so there is not very long left to get your requests in.

[Catwheazle]

Thanks very much! I wasn't sure whether the 17th of January also applies to seed requests from Germany.

Thanks very much! I wasn't sure whether the 17th of January also applies to seed requests from Germany.

Yes just as long as your request is completed online by that date and time.

[Richard Green]

Hello everyone,
The SRGC Seed Exchange ordering closes this coming Monday 17 January at midnight GMT, so please make any last minute orders quickly.  Orders are picked in order of receipt, so the later you leave it the less choice of seed there will be.  Also, this year we have had more orders than expected, but we have been given less seed than usual to distribute by donors, so it is important that you give us plenty of Extra numbers to choose if your seed has run out. 
Happy choosing!

[Robert Maxwell]

My seeds arrived today. Many thanks to the team for all their hard work in getting orders out. 

[Richard Green]

We have now picked orders for most of the Main orders (both Donors' and Members' orders) this last week, and mailed out the UK orders.  We shall be mailing the Rest of World orders this coming week, and moving onto picking Surplus orders.

Of course our European members will experience a delay whilst their orders go through the phytosanitary process, and there will be a further delay (maybe 2 weeks?) before we can mail them out, so please do not ask about your orders for another two weeks.  This is the first year we are sending to Europe under the new rules, so I shall update you when we know more details.

Here are your West of Scotland Team (all suitably Lateral Flow Tested, and masked up) picking your orders:
