A4A Meet @ Barnsdale Gardens 2nd June
Hi all, following from a previous thread, I have managed to arrange a A4A Meet @ Barnsdale Gardens on 2nd June
Everyone is invited
,
A4A members and friends, OHs etc.
I am waiting for more details from Nick Hamilton, ie costs etc.
The plan is to meet there at between 10:30 and 11:00 on the Saturday morning, we will be met by Nick, who will give us a brief chat, than we can wander around ourselves for as long as we want, have lunch and I would suggest that after lunch we take advantage of our "backstage" passes to the allotments garden. We have arranged a tour and talk from the allotment garden manager.
The rest of the afternoon is then ours, we have been chatting about a seed swap, which seems to be going down well, and maybe we could do this after a cuppa in the restaurant.
I have a list of approx 12/15 A4A members who would like to come already - please PM me or add to thread if you would also like to come, and let me know if you are bringing someone with you.

Oliveoil - glad you've got him babysitting - my OH is coming, he's never been to Barnsdale and is looking forward to it. He's hoping to learn a bit about some of the planting and also construction of vegetable growing frames etc. :)
SO I think there's about 16/17 of us at the moment

If anyone is staying over night try the fox and hounds at Exton, just down the road.
We got married at Barnsdale Gardens, and fed everyone very well at the fox afterwards, looked like a nice place to stay in a traditioal pub rather than the corporate excess of Barnsdale Lodge for example.
I would really like to come along but sadly have nowhere to park the toddlers.

Hex, thanks for the info.
Shame you can't come - could you bring toddlers?!? Or is that another "Prink13 mad idea"! ;D

But I hope to see lots of photos, and a report after the event.
Sounds like fun.

I just might show my mush-and for those staying over there is a decent Chinese place in Oakham,and Stamford has some places to eat as well.
I can`t comment on the local B&Bs as we live so close we have never tried them but there are a few

May bring OH but not to the talks etc so don't include him in numbers. We may stay over- is there a travelodge or similar nearby?

I can make the 2nd and balances up my weekend beautifully - my better half has me lined up to take part in a car rally on the 3rd!
Thanks for organising this

I am OK for the date and with a lift from the the station as offered I am keeping my fingers crossed I will be OK, problem with standing/walking more tham a little way. It is half term for me so I could rest up ahead of time. I rarely go anywhere these days but am gonna give it my best shot. XX Jeannine

Jeanine, glad you're coming, don't worry about the walking, there are plenty of places to sit and relax and just soak up the individual gardens :)
Oliveoil - hope you can persuade the family that you can come, won't be the same without you :D
Really looking forward to it now - only 5 weeks away!

I actually walk better fast than slow, silly isn't it. I can break records for about 100 yards then my breathing packs up. If I saunter,I can breathe super but after 25 yards my back needs 2 sticks. They shoot horses don't they !!!! XX Jeannine
