My "Dear Snowdrop Lover" letter of invitation to the Galanthus Gala arrived today.  It does not have far to come as Monksilver Nursery is just the other side of Cambridge. 

[annew]

I say, does one have to have an invitation?

[mark smyth]

Not at all just send a letter back requesting your one's tickets to attend.

[Alan_b]

It might help to send a cheque with one's letter.  From memory, Gala tickets were £26, lunch was £10 and admission to The Garden House was £6. 

[emma T]

OH NO i havent had my letter yet         

[Lina Hesseling]

My letter came today! Isn't that quick? But I will not be there this year.
Hopefully next year if it is not to far from London. But I am looking forward to all your photos and comments.
Lina.

My neighbour's had my letter . The one time they bother to pick up the post  and its something important to me !!!!!

So just a profit making "bash"all round then?

[Alan_b]

Is that so terrible, David?  Nurserymen aren't generally found amongst the wealthier members of our society.  If one of them can organise a snowdrop "bash" and make some money from it, well good for them I say.

Or was that irony again and you wanted to point out what a bargain price it is?  

[Tim Ingram]

As a nurseryman I have to agree! But I haven't made it to one of the Gala's yet because I am afraid of all of the elbows!!
