Well hopefully we will see you at Ben Potterton's snowdrop day Davey?  I believe Ian Christie may be coming down to give a talk - my fingers are crossed!

I don't know any more at the moment, Ben's snowdrop day is normally at the end of January so the first social event of the season for the snowdroppers.  There is nothing yet on the website regarding next year, will let you know as soon as there is anything definite.
