Hi Maggi,
what about the Galanthus lovers' elbows?  :) Hope they are not too hard!

Martina, I think you must be steadfast in your approach, but keep a big smile on your face... that will disarm them!  ;) ;D

But the elbows could still get bruised in that outfit Chas.  

If I ever go to the gala I think I would need to wear something like this  ;D

I'm really quite tempted now - I have some knee pads I could put on my elbows! (PS: I like all the other plants Joe grows too).

I dont think the Gala is as bad as people think.

This could be the year to try it out. Because it's so far away numbers may be down but numbers could be normal because those in the south west dont travel when it's far away

Has anybody got their Gala tickets yet?  It's four weeks hence now and I would like to know if I will be able to go or not.

Someone called Mark Smyth will be the first point of call at the Gala. He will be on the registration table. If you know him say "hello".

He will also be looking after pre-orders. If anything is missing it will not be him  8) only joking  :)
