Just noticed that the Independent magazine from Saturday is encouraging readers to go to Barnsdale next weekend for their sessions on organic vegetables! Hope it won't be too packed! Maybe we should take a picnic?

Is there a picnic place as that is what we usually do XX Jeannine

prink13 · « **Reply #85 on:** May 28, 2007, 18:49:20 »

Definitely not allowed to eat a picnic in the seats outside the coffee shop - last time I went, we took a picnic, but had to eat it in the car-park! :o I don't think there is anywhere else, but I will phone and ask tomorrow

I dont think i will want a picnic if the weather is like this.

Jeannine · « **Reply #87 on:** May 28, 2007, 22:55:04 »

What are the options for eating there does anyone know please XX Jeannine

cleo · « **Reply #88 on:** May 29, 2007, 09:52:43 »

They have a cafe area and the food is edible

:) Cleo, do they have veggie food? / shades x

prink13 · « **Reply #90 on:** May 29, 2007, 10:36:32 »

Angle Shades, yes they do have veggie food, I can't remember what I've had there before, but they certainly do it - I seem to remeber that it was pretty good food all round, but it is quite snacky rather than a big meal

It's descibed as a coffee shop rather than a restaurant but says there is hot and cold food available.

Hi all, just saw this topic and me and Simba would love to come. Read you are all paying on the day, would it be ok if we tagged along, as I would so love to meet you all and get a look at the proper way to be doing things!

HI

How many people are partisipating in the seed swap?

Cambourne7

prink13 · « **Reply #94 on:** May 30, 2007, 12:09:31 »

Jenfur & Simba - yes you are welcome to coma along - glad to have you there

Everyone:- Will aim to meet at about 10:30 at/around entrance/coffee shop, We can wander as a large group or in smaller groups, and will meet up for lunch at some point - we have also arranged a talk by either Nic Hamilton or the head of the Allotment garden - don't know the time of this yet.

I will try to get there a little early to sort out any last minute hitches

Have chacked ref. picnic, there really isn't anywhere to eat other than car-park or on the ground, and in the weather we've been having, I wouldn't recommend it

We'll plan to do seed swap towards end of day, maybe over a cuppa in coffee shop - I know that I'll be giving away some seeds of mine and from Olive Oil - we both have seeds which were given to us by Supersprout, so I'll happily share those with anyone.

Cost is £4.50 per head, regardless of whether RHS member or not

That's it for now, see you on Saturday!

Jeanine and John - I've added you on! :D

sweet-pea · « **Reply #97 on:** May 30, 2007, 14:00:53 »

Hi prink13

Flossie is picking me up from Newark station at around 10am (I hope :) ) so we will probably not arrive until closer to 11am, maybe you could let them know on the entrance to expect us as part of the group. Sorry, I thought the original plan was to meet 10.30-11am, and if I got an earlier train down I'd have been extremely early, can't change it now without paying extra!

I probably won't bring any seeds to swap as I have far too many already and not organised enough to sort out which I could bring either, but could always post some out to people afterwards if I get tempted ::)

Look forward to meeting you all.

Sweet-Pea and Flossie, no problem, I'll sort it out with reception desk, I'll probably still be in coffee shop the anyway!
