Any errors are probably because I've just come back from the winter beer festival, I've just resigned as treasurer after about a decade over some pointless issue.... so I doubt the Open days and plant sales will happen..
:-X Have a nice day... ;D
Confused of Essex here, If you've been to a beer festival how does that affect the plant sale etc. or do I need a glass or two of wine to understand Saddad?
The beer festival is responsible fro typo's... my resignation affects the plant sales....... :-X
Oh bugger. Wont anyone else step into the breech or can you be persuaded to return? Do you want to sleep on it?(beer can help/cause that ;D)
Straw that broke the camels back ???
Sometimes one last stupid coment can be one to many when you work your guts out to keep a site running !
::)
I know how you feel. I'm responsible for the property at my local Methodist Church, among other things, and I get nothing but carping, criticism and attempts to undermine me from certain people.
See you on Monday Robert.. :)
Oh no way!! What happened? I hope you flounced out and slammed the door behind you. ;)
No I didn't flounce... but I might now you've suggested it... ;D
Come on Saddad, tell us the whole storey, you've started so I'm afraid you'll have to finish. ? ??? ;D ;D ;D
Saddad I do hate to see you used that sad face. Normally you seem such a rock. I am sure that lots of people appreciate your efforts.
Nah... it's really not that interesting...
wouldn't make the tabloids, no sex scandal, embezellment, violence... ::)
although the last two were possibilities... ;D
Noooo! It would be a real shame if the open days and sales stopped, but stick to your guns if you've had enough! Then they'll realise what they are missing.

I hope it all works out for you your site is massive compared to ours 17 plots in a space for 4 full sized ones the same people do all the work then somebody who only comes to the plot every 4 weeks comments on what should have been done......
for the last 3 years i have quit the chairmanship but then get talked around....and off
we go again this year to protect my sanity and energy i'm delegating heavily
your to valuable a person to give up your influence is it a disagreement with all the committee or just an obstructive member your site would be better off if they left
Knowing the entheusiasm that you have concerning the plant sales and other stuff you do on you allotment site then it must have been something really hard hitting to make you give up. I remember you at last years plant sale standing out there in the rain all on your own in case someone wanted to buy something. I bet the others won't be so keen
Thank you for the encouragement. It's basically a disagreement between an inward or an outward looking society. Time will tell. I'm not looking aftyer the big greenhouse so if they run the Open Days I reckon the plant sales will be much smaller. :-X
Does this mean that there won't be any more of those plugs on here for open days with amazing plants on sale ?! ::) :o :P
Hope things work out for you Saddad. Maybe this will mean a bit more time for you and Mrs Saddad to enjoy the plot!
If they are running it I will still plug it... but I reckon the range will be more restricted, unless they can con DebP into doing all the work... ;D
sshhh don't tell her yet.........
I think she may have noticed... ;D
what, that she is in the frame for the plant sale...... ?!
They have reallocated my tasks amongst themselves (allegedly)... can't think who got the treasurers job... but I also did events which inluded NGS open days, plant sales and evening visits.. :)
As you say time will tell
In the meantime happy gardening ;D

yes we were there as well as you know shirlton i don't think rain was the word for it we left and went for a meal then drove home took 2 hours and when we got in we were still wet through all the rest of your post spot on
It was the wettest Open Day I`ve ever been to! And its success was testament to saddad`s commitment.
But on the slightly brighter side - and to be honest - there were other very nice, very wet, people meeting and greeting, showing round, chatting to visitors, manning the gate, serving refreshments.
Every event needs a visionary organiser at its head, but there were others involved.
I`m sure it will go ahead, if not with saddad`s flair and flourish.
Well I'm sorry to hear there was no flouncing or slamming. ;)
It doesn't sound as if you really want to change things now-it's a shame they've lost their creative director but you still have your plot(s) and plenty to do. I was really looking forward to your Open Days now I live up here. ::)
I hope it goes ahead Old Hippy, and I'm sure Deb and I will make you more than welcome Emmy... :)
