    Ah i missed the point sorry. Bit too far for me to go otherwise would have been interested in a meet. Thinking now i could have got one going for the Kent Garden Show at Detling last month. I have a friend near Chichester who owns a nursery though so i'll point it out to him and the forum too.

    The Zig is in a nice country pub in Lavant, next village to West Dean. Its rained all the way from Salisbury but has now cleared up and the sun is coming out. Lets hope it holds off for tomorrow.

    Looking forward to meeting James:dbgrtmb:

    I hope you have a good time but the Saturday weather looks rubbish. Apparently Sunday may turn out quite nice so may be a better bet.

    Sorry we can't get to meet you there but we, with some friends, shall be at our local Chilli Festival - it's only half an hour away.

    Good tastings and eatings :dbgrtmb:

    We've decided to go on Monday as it's supposed to be sunny. I don't do walking around festivals in the wet weather. :heehee:

    Enjoy yourselves :dbgrtmb:

            Bought a bottle of Naga oil & a Naga Lolly for Willow, starting to think that might have been a mistake though.
