I will try and make the 14th  Are you going to have a scarecrow making workshop?

I hope you can come, it will be nice meeting you  :)

Don't know about a workshop but our scarecrow competition will have been judged by then so people can see the new ones.
The one that's been standing by the pavilion for almost a year has got wasps living up his jacket so he will have to be removed.  Shame, it won't look the same without him.

Is this still on?  Is anyone else going?  Things seem to have gone very quiet. 

Squash 64 Can you supply some directions please. What time does it start etc etc

[valmarg]

Sorry Digeroo, I meant to reply to this but then forgot....

Our Summer Fayre (14th August) starts at 12 and finishes around 3ish.  We are fairly easy to find as we are just off the A34 down the road from junction 7 (Great Barr)  There is a map on our homepage www.growit.btck.co.uk and we have put big signs up on the main road to show where we are. There is plenty of parking in Perry Park just at the side of the allotments.  We are actually situated inside the park, next to the Alexander Stadium.  The entrance is in Church Road.
I hope all this makes sense, just ask if I've missed anything out.

Would my assumption be correct that, as no one has replied to my earlier post that I am persona non grata,  and would not be welcome at your get together.

Val, don't be daft.  it Saturday 14th I think at Perry barr in Brum starting about 12.00 noon.  If the bus numbers are still the same as when I lived around that area the number 33 goes somewhere near there.

Valmarg - I'm really sorry - of course you will be welcome!  My fault entirely, I replied to a post from Digeroo and assumed that you would have seen it.

I know it can be upsetting when it seems that a post is ignored, it happens to all of us from time to time but honestly, it wasn't intentional. I wish everyone could come on Saturday but I know that's impossible so I'm really looking forward to meeting those who can.

lottie lou - I don't know about the 33 bus, but I know the 51 and 52 go quite near, on the main Walsall Rd, the A34. If people are coming from the City they need to get off the bus at Perry Avenue then cross over the main road and head for Perry Park just a minute's walk away.  There are lots of signs up so hopefully people will see where we are.

How are we going to recognise each other?  Should we have a meeting-place at a certain time or wear badges or something?  (maybe hang a courgette round our neck although we might get some funny looks) It would be a shame if people come a long way and then don't get to meet everyone. 

Who is hoping to come?

Chris, good luck with your eyelid reconstruction (ouch) on the 12th, hope all goes well for you.

[grawrc]

Sorry I can't make it. I've got house guests - from Birmingham no less!!

[shirlton]

Tony suggested we all carry an M&S bag but I said that Wilkinson bag would be better cos I'm sure most of us shop there. Anyone who cant get a bag will soon notice the sad b******s outside the tea rooms having their tea and cake. ;D ;D ;D

[Spudbash]

Would love to join you but something else sneaked into the diary before the date became clear.

Have a great time, everybody, and be sure to admire those squashes, tomatoes and other burgeoning crops, on behalf of absent friends!  ;D

Oh, and please report back - I'm sure lots of us will want to know how the day went.  ;D
