        I've now sent details of accommodation to those that have said they want to come and are too far to do it in a day. A number of you have already said that you have booked your accommodation :blue thumb:

        I hope I haven't left anyone out.

        Any one else that would like to come (or anyone I missed :sad: :old:) I can easily send details of either places to stay or give directions if you don't need accommodation.

        Anyone coming who wants more detailed directions, or doesn't trust their satNav :heehee:, then please PM me. :dbgrtmb:

              I didn't realise how close I was to the essex/herts border. If OH is here and is willing to ferry me then we will probably come along.

                Hi Jane,
                yes, we're not far from you :dbgrtmb: and I hope you can make it. At the moment there will be over a dozen GC members here. It will be good if we can make it up to twenty :).

                Let me know if you think you can make it and I can tell you the best way to get here. Although we're near the M11 it's usually quicker to come through Chelmsford. We're no more than 20 minutes from there. :blue thumb:

                If he's not interested in gardens the tell him there's loads of scrumptious cakes and there's also entertainment. He can also laze around in the garden as there will be lots of seats. Mustn't forget the Indian restaurant, either. :yes:

                  I'm getting hungry at the thought of it already Mr Shiney,
