[mark smyth]

nothing for me either

[chasw]

And I'm still waiting forrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[mark smyth]

Maybe Alan's was posted by mistake?

Joe was botanising on Majorca recently

My letter about the Gala ends "PTO", but the reverse side is blank.  So I guess they could have pulled the distribution when it was discovered that the print run had gone wrong.  But on past experience, this is just a proof-reading failure.

[emma T]

still no letter today 

[Brian Ellis]

Well, has anyone on the forum, other than AlanB, and Martin had the letter?

[emma T]

Maybe Joe has only invited them    !!!!

[Martin Baxendale]

My letter was a nursery invite letter, inviting me have a table to sell snowdrops or my book, with info on where, who's giving talks etc. It wasn't the invitation to attend letter. The nursery/selling table invites go out earlier than the general invites.

[Alan_b]

Oh dear, it's going to be very lonely.

Had my Gala invitation last Thursday, perhaps Joe is sending them in alphabetical order?  Had a good read about the other galanthus events coming up, then browsed the bulb lists which had just gone online from Colesbourne and Ivycroft Plants.  Before I knew what was happening ,I'd ordered three snowdrops and eaten all the Jaffa cakes!

As I've already ordered too many next year I must try some Jaffa cakes, they're apparently a potent corrective.

Well, has anyone on the forum, other than AlanB, and Martin had the letter?

er ... I had mine middle of last week.  Threw it away as it's too far for me   

[Brian Ellis]

Cheers Diane, I'm pleased to say that there seems no need for the rest of us to panic (galanthophiles  )  A friend who has never missed a Gala is also waiting for her 'Dear Snowdrop Lover' letter, whilst someone in the next village has had one last weekend.

wow it seems very sporadic , as yet i still have no letter . I hope they dont sell out  , its worse than trying for a Glastonbury festival ticket , at least they all go on sale at the same time .
