The Edible Garden show - Stoneleigh - POSTPONED

[Headfry]

I am a little confused....
been on Stoneleigh web site - and the above show is not listed??
tapped in the edible Garden show and web site shows it going ahead, if you go to 'floor plan' there dont seem to be many takers for stands??
I have signed up for news letters but never received one??
Show is the month after next.....
Anyone heard anything much about this show?
March 19th to 21st ??????

I'm glad you mentioned this because I noticed in a.n.other garden newspaper that in the listings for all the major shows for this year there was no mention of TEGS.

I just assumed they (TEGS) hadn't notified the paper for be added to the listings, but that would just be plain daft cos you would want to let as many people know about a new show as possible.

Hi Piskie, the plot thickens .....
Shame, as it sounds like a fantastic show for us grapes! covers so many things
Lets hope all is well with the show
Shame too about lack of news letters I was really looking forward to the briefings.

However....
There was an advert for it in one of my veg growing mags this month so there may be some hope.

I've just e-mailed them to find out. Fingers crossed cos Iwas looking forward to that.

Just had a reply from the Stoneleigh Park Events Co-ordinator. Yes it's going ahead and will be on their website in a couple of weeks.

Hum, that maybe because they plan mags so far in advance - but fingers crossed it's still on

[Headfry]

Binley100, thanks for that...they dont seem to be 'pushing' it it is only but weeks away.
Still never had a news letter though......
Piskie - good point

The show is definitely on and is advertised in all the garden mags. It doesn't look to be a huge show by Gardeners World Live standards, but there are up to 335 stands available. The Mirror group is one of the main sponsors. Have seen at least 3 seed companies and two rival magazines. Plus an area with 11 stands to be able to ask the experts. Still early days but I am already looking forward to it.

Same here. Wonder how many grapes are going?amd on which day. It would be nice to put some faces to names.

i'm going on the sunday with a few others from our lottie site, am looking forward to it, hope its a success and doesnt flop because theyve not promoted it properly

[piskieinboots]

I'm hoping for the Sunday also

[Headfry]

gojiberry - early days??? it's early NEXT month !!!.....seems they have their work cut out to fill the stands? Still no 'news letter' signed up ages ago.

Wanted to go friday (no kiddies) but Mr HF working I'm guessing it will be Saturday now- unless most grapes going on the Sunday-It would be fab to meet some you.
Really looking forward to this show.

[piskieinboots]

[binley100]

Oops just realised how that read
Maybe we could pin a vine leaf to our coats like a corsage thingy.
