not long to go then, saddad..are you getting nervous, we've just finished arranging everything for saturday..some people say we won't have enough but I'm worried no one will turn up !!
we've leafleted all the surrounding estates and posted notices in town centres..so, all we can do is wait and see..
hope everything goes well and this beautiful weather favours your open day :)

As I've just put in the Barnsdale visit thread, I'll also be at the Open Day on the Sunday as my lottie is on that site, so will be available should my professional midwifery skills be required....! ;D

Let's hope not Deb... but any publicity is good publicity!

Perhaps I should advertise my willow bower as a natural childbirth room.....what about the Kingfisher pond as a birthing pool...... ;D ;D ;D

Saddad, when you have your open day, do you have anything else, i.e, stalls for other things apart from plants..
you've guessed it, the lads have decided to organise a 'fun' day on the rugby field, we'll have 3 tables of plants, hanging baskets etc, we need ideas for other things
ideas ? ;D

We do refreshments and guided talks/tours but that is for NGS which is up market we have done all sorts before.. tombola, raffle, bric a brac, but not this time!
:)
Good luck.

Manics - what about cream teas ? You could pre-prepare to make easier and use paper plates etc.

Or strawberries and cream, if it is the right time of year.... or something else using your produce? Home made jams, chutneys etc. A garden on a tray competition for the children? I'll keep thinking....

use my strawberries, I think not..mind you, I could buy some manky ones and pour sugar on them..
thanks for the suggestions, we're having a meeting soon, I'll see what ideas others have

but, they're not having my strawberries !! ;D

sorry, saddad, didn't mean to hijack your thread :)

No problem, it keeps it at the top of the page!

I probably will not be able to make as the boss (Girl Friend) needs the car for work that day but can you post a Postcode for a Sat Nav just in case I may be able to take her get to Derby and back

DE23 6JH... just off the ring road. If you drive round the ring road you actually drive through our neighbouring site (Normanton) which was cut in two when they built the ring road! There will be large yellow signs on the Stenson Road/ Ringroad roundabout!
;D

This Sunday... anyone on the way back from Barnsdale is more than welcome...
If we keep dodging the frosts there might even be some plants to sell!
;D

Good luck with the day - hoping that the sun shines and the rain stays away
