Galanthus Events - Snowdrop Days etc 2013

[Hans J]

Hi  all ,

knows maybe anybody on which weekend in February and on which place are the Snowdrop Days with Joe Sharman ?

Thank you
Hans

[mark smyth]

Hans he is keeping very quiet

[Brian Ellis]

The CGS day is February 16th which normally means that Joe's Gala is on the 9th.  As Mark says Joe is keeping his cards close to his chest until the lecture venue has been sorted.

Thank you Mark and Brian ,

I did not know that it is a secret 

May be later ....

[Brian Ellis]

It's not that it's a secret Hans, but Joe has to book the schools for lectures, lunch etc and just when he is free to do so they are all on Summer holidays so it is not known until all the arrangements are in place.  As we are always saying, it is a shame as, if you need to travel and find accommodation you miss early booking discounts!

Thank you Brian !
