Virtual Vegetable Show 2008

[rustylady]

Don't know if this is the right place to post, but maybe the mods will move it and answer my previous questions. ARE WE HAVING A VEGETABLE SHOW THIS YEAR???? Thoroughly enjoyed last years, and looking forward to another one. I don't mind if we don't have real prizes, just looking forward to entering and seeing what everyone else has managed to grow. How does everyone else feel??

[Mrs Dobby]

Yep, deffo up for it over here, its not prizes that matter, just the fun of seeing what everyone grows!

[MrsC]

now i know how to post pics i might join in

Funnily enough, was just wondering the same thing while I was picking stuff earlier. Was wondering whether I should start taking piccies now on the off chance that I might be able to enter something - it usually takes me a lot of attempts to get a half decent picture as I'm particularly incompetent with cameras!

Count me in, it is brilliant to see everyone else's produce. I think we might be in the running for most flattened by the wind veggies

I posted this question a while ago Rustylady. Shortie said she would take it up with the powers that be but no word since.
I think everyone was eager to do it again and agreed there was no need for real prizes. I do hope it will go ahead but could the categories be anounced soon. I think some of us are eating our best stuff.

[Seahorse]

I have reminded the GYO staff of Shortie's query.

I think the nightmare of getting the suppliers to cough up the promised prizes might have put admin off. If we were happy to have Virtual Prizes for the Virtual Veg Show it would be less hazardous for poor old Dave.

Just a recognition post for the winners would seem fine to me - or perhaps Ben (or whoever) could create a "winner" banner which any winners could have on their posts for the next month (or even year). Just an idea!

That's a great idea Alison

[vegnut]

Yes i'm all for it again. Hats off to T&M though for the vouchers they sent out, they were very prompt with delivery and very satisfying to use

Or a winners certificate E mailed to the winners of each class that you could download and save.

I'm in Total Agreement.....

Snadger's completely BRILLIANT idea of a Virtual Vegetable Show, came to actual fruition, just how fabulous was THAT?!

GROW YOUR OWN valiantly took his idea on board, and actually ran MUCH further with his idea than any of us could have hoped for, and with having done that, gave us all a magnificent boost to grow our stuff even better than we would have done in the first place, in my mind....

Personally, I agree with what has just been said in it's entirety.

The absolute headache for GYO Admin surely mustn't be allowed to happen again, but I DO think that the T&M Vouchers are an EXCELLENT prize, and surely, much much easier to admin and distribute?, especially given that a lot of gorgeous peeps on this forum are living abroad?

Vouchers are really, really useful, and I know some of it goes on postage, but hey, there's no such thing as A Free Lunch in life, eh?!

I would love to enter again this year, if the competition is still going to happen.

BRING IT ON!...........

I won a T&M voucher for a Top Tip, and swapped it for three of these beauties: http://plants.thompson-morgan.com/pi...ias/4/4148.jpg

Oh, how lovely Sheds....
I keep leafing through the catalogue and can't make my mind up for my Top Tip Voucher - too much to chose from!
