Thanks!

I know I'm in the north west too but I'm very shy, bordering on total social phobia, especially eating & drinking with people! I'll say I'm not coming but if you see someone lurking in the background it could be me! Have a good time anyway, Arley Hall is lovely, the long borders are great & they have a nice tearoom.

Me too Sue, although not the eating and drinking thing. Just that I'm too fat & ugly I was ill with nerves before going to Yo & Bob's, if it hadn't been a day digging in the rain, and I could take my dog, I probably wouldn't have gone... Glad I did as Yo, Bob, Mrs D, Dobby and Dave were very lovely, and didn't seem to notice that I was nearly gibbering!
I love the idea of a big Grape meet up, but... I'd be perfectly happy if I could put a paper bag over my head...
Anyway, it's not an issue this time as I've worked out that fuel and entry would cost a weeks shopping budget and I probably won't be able to walk very far by then either!

When are the grapes from the south meeting at Wisley? I am an RHS member and would love to meet.

[Epsom Gardener]

Stupid me - I should look before I type! I searched 'Meeting Wisley' and found the date - 7th March.
thanks guys ;-)

The problem with a large scattered group like this is that you simply can't please everyone; you could ask and check forever, and end up not doing anything. So you just have to make a date and hope for the best

So, looks like the north west meetup will be 5th April 2009 at Arley Hall, Cheshire

I've never heard of the place, but I expect I'll find it. All we need now is some form of identification - a copy of GYO brandished freely about our person?

See you there Geoff

[allotmentlady]

Well we could all discreetly meet in the car park! Ya know ninja type moves, so we all know who we are!

[Mrs Dobby]

We're easily spotted in the car park, just look for the electric blue MINI with black roof and bonnet stripes!
