For the NGS...
First Sunday in September... (5th?) 11-5pm. Plant and produce sales. Tea/coffee/cakes and samosas....
£3 for adults (to the NGS for charity) under 16's free. As I'm not directly involved I can show anyone around...
Oh, and you get to see DebP's wonder shed... ;D

We came 2 years ago and I have a photo of the wonder shed - its brill.
We'd come again but our village show is the same day and I have a seed swap to organise....
Glad you enjoyed it aj ............... :)
Why do I always seem to live too far away from these things :(
Would so love to come...... :'(
Website :)
Time to move away from London.
Must get rid of job first.......will buy lottery ticket......14,000,000 to 1 :( :( :( :( :(
Then again would have bought Leonardslee if I'd won enough...only £4,000,000.....bargain ;D
Drat, drat, drat
As Derby was the old Midland Railway centre we have good rail links............. ::)
Did I mention our Open Day? ::)
Noooooooooooooooooooo ::) ::) ::)
Hope you have a great day ;D
Wel it's not Alnwick.... :-X
Looks like we might have good weather for it... :)
Good luck for Sunday :)
Hope it all goes well (even if you are not involved) ;D
hope it stays nice for you,wish we could come! good luck
But you`ll be there to do show-rounds won`t you?
And will you be on your lovely plot?
Wille Deb be there?
Will there be samosas? :)
I wish I could come again, loved your site, but both your open days this year have coincided with old car dos, OH's hobby......better luck for me next year I hope! Looks like a good day for you though, fingers crossed for a good turn-out.
I will be around tomorrow, and not being involved means I can show people round. Deb is on holiday but I can still take you onto her plot to see the wonder shed. The Samosas have been ordered.
The committee are talking of cutting down to just the Sept. opening next year and a general Open Day in mid May for the association. :-X
Looks like you should be just in time before the weather breaks! Hope everyone has a good and profitable day.

Good - those samosas are legendary.
Still would love to come over but just can't......bummocks!
Just been down picking Damsons... they are ready and will be on sale (cheaply!)
;D
You're not helping!!!
Who's the blokey down there that has all the apple trees down the bottom?
Sounds like Clive :-\
Have a lovely day. Hope the sun shines for you all. Sorry we can't make it this year. Family lunch at daughters today.
Thanks... looks like a fine day, just making some breakfast before the last path sweeping etcetera :)
Have a great day Saddad and anybody else who's going along, shame Deb's on her hols. ;D ;D ;D
It was a lovely day! Typically, our visit coincided with a sharp shower. Still, had a nice cuppa and cake.
You didn`t mention that it was the 90th birthday of the site. There was an impressive birthday cake in the tea tent.
A Nice little show as well. Some gorgeous flowers.
sorry we couldn't make it, david..we were babysitting 2 90yr olds ;D
Hope you had a great day yesterday Saddad :)

Time for you to get back on the committee then ;) :)
I'm intending to stand at the AGM but that's after next year's form has to go into the NGS.
It didn't rain much. We weren't run off our feet and had a good natter.
I won seven of the 30 prizes in the internal show... mainly because it wasn't well supported, two categories had no entries!
First, Second and third in "Most Unusual Fruit or Veg".
First in Tomatoes and Soft Fruit.
Second in Top Fruit and Greenhouse collection...
Had Deb been there I would have had more competition... ;D
Perhaps you won so many prizes because your stuff was best, Saddad! :)
The visit was great. I brought my aunt, who had a lovely afternoon. All the visitors seemed happy and impressed and the produce stall was well stocked and busy.
You weren`t on your plot - off to pick more damsons I was told - but we were shown round by a lovely man.
All in all a most successful day.
Well done! ;D ;D
Oh! and my aunt had a lovely chat with the lady who did the judging. I didn`t know her but Aunt knew her as a horticulturist who does radio gardening progs!
Apparently she`s a real fan of your site and she opens her own gardens for the NGS.
