Someone called Mark Smyth - who ever he is - is one of the Gala speakers next year

Mark
Logic suggests that you know the date and venue. Don't keep us in suspense!

[mark smyth]

Sorry I dont know the venue but it will be in Essex. The date is Saturday 13th Feb. There is a small problem which is why I have been asked to step in. All will be revealed I suppose when the letter arrives.

[steve owen]

Thanks Mark, at least I can enter up the diary.

Geachte Heer, Mevrouw,


Vermits meer en meer mensen in onze streken lijken besmet te raken met de ziekte ‘Galanthofolie’, lijkt het ons als arboretum aangewezen om deze mensen te helpen. 

Op zaterdag 14 en zondag 15 februari 2009, zullen wij in Arboretum Kalmthout, een ‘GALANTHUS GALA’ en een ‘SNOW DROP SHOW’ organiseren.
Onze bedoeling is een programma op te stellen waar ‘Galanthofielen’, met alle graden van besmetting, volop aan hun trekken kunnen komen. Wij denken dan aan een tentoonstelling, voordrachten, een unieke verkoop, …

Graag hadden wij een beroep gedaan op uw kennis van deze, naar het schijnt erg besmettelijke ziekte, in de vorm van een voordracht of lezing voor een geïnteresseerd publiek (vooraf ingeschreven).
Mocht U bereid zijn om op zaterdag 14 februari hiervoor tijd vrij te maken, gelieve ons dan even uw voorwaarden te bezorgen. Wij zullen U dan contacteren voor verdere afspraken.

Mocht U daarnaast nog materiaal (planten in pot, bloemen, leuke gadgets, unieke prularia, uitzonderlijk fotomateriaal, …) hebben dat U ter beschikking wil stellen voor de tentoonstelling of interesse hebben om deel te nemen aan de verkoop, bent U ook hiervoor van harte welkom.

Alvast bedankt voor uw bereidwillige medewerking en interesse. In afwachting van uw bericht, blijven wij ter beschikking voor verdere vragen en inlichtingen.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Ellen Lutgen
Arboretum Kalmthout

Our aim is a program to where? Galanthofielen?, With all degrees of infection, plenty to attract them to come. We are thinking of an exhibition, lectures, a unique sales,?

It came to me this morning and because i could read Galanthus Gala and the dates I thought I would post it here. They are not allowed to call their event a Galanthus Gala.

[chasw]

Ah I see,

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Hi folks !
Not often I post in here but I thought I might be of help here translation wise.

The "Arboretum" in Kalmthout is a well meaning organisation who run an arboretum and who have been staging a snowdrop event since a few years now.
All they are doing here is in fact, announce the event to all galantophiles and ask for people to get in touch with the organisation if they're interested in giving a talk, show plants, sell plants, etc...

For those interested, this is the e-mail address :  collectie@arboretumkalmthout.be

Have fun !

If you have additional material (in pot plants, flowers, fun gadgets, unique trashy aria, exceptional photographs,?)

Well it's worth going for the unique trashy aria, I reckon.

[Maggi Young]

If you have additional material (in pot plants, flowers, fun gadgets, unique trashy aria, exceptional photographs,?)

Well it's worth going for the unique trashy aria, I reckon.

I have to agree, Anne, though I am disappointed that I have not been invited to do the singing.........

[Gerard Oud]

You can do the singing at our Gala i will arrange a special stage!
