Title: "Pass the parcel" number 3 - call for players
Post by: CityChick on March 01, 2007, 15:29:13
Due to popular demand... I'm happy to start another one next week ;D

BUT... can I suggest that priority is given to people who weren't included in the last round.  Eager experienced players can join in IF numbers are low (unlikely, as I think there's at least 6 new people already) or when the first parcels come home and need somewhere else to go next. Sorry, but it seems fairest... :-[

So...

If you want to play AND missed out on the last round you need to PM me your name and address by noon on Wednesday 7th March 2007.  I'll reply to confirm I have your details and that I have added them to the list.  The parcel can then start its adventure later that same day 8)

Just a reminder of what happens:

A parcel of spare seeds is sent off by the organiser with a list of the names and addresses of all the players.

When the parcel arrives you can take whatever seeds you would like. You then add your selection of spares.  It does not have to be a like for like swap numbers wise. We're assuming it will all even out over the life of the parcel.

They can be any sorts of seeds as long as you think they are viable.  Could be veg, flowers, herbs, etc, bought ones or home saved ones, unwanted full packets or just the few spares you won't be sowing yourself.

You then cross your name and address off the list and post the parcel on to the next person after you.  Also PM the organiser so they can keep track of the parcel, just incase it gets lost in the post.

At the end it comes back to the organiser, and if there is enough interest it could go off again on another round as the contents should have gradually changed as it went on its travels.

Think that's it - any questions or suggestions just say.

Right, I'm off to clear out my in box! ;D

Round 3 is now closed.

Due to its popularity, I've kept this round to just new people.

To keep numbers low-ish per parcel (ie so those last on the list don't have to wait toooooooooo long) I've split it again so there are only 12 ish peeps per parcel.

And I've started new threads for the progress of parcels 3 and 4 :D  Check 'em out, and join in if you're playing...

For all you keen experienced players who want another go now, or any new players who've missed out on the "pass the parcel" game so far, check out the thread for round 5!! :)

Enjoy ;D
