      Good job - in the absence of alcohol, I require strong tea to function....

        That's brilliant that you're coming :hapydancsmil:. Will you be able to join us for an Indian afterwards?

        You most certainly won't whiz past without noticing us. This is typical of what you will see.

          I'm afraid I won't be able to join you for the Indian this time (maybe next year?) - I am getting there in little steps. I was pretty horrified when I found out that I was earmarked to work that weekend, and initially it looked like I might only make the last hour or so on the Sunday. A wee bit of sweet talking and you are more likely to see me sat outside your drive waiting for opening time on the Saturday :heehee: - that way I can get a good while with you, and still make it back home to be on call for the late afternoon and evening.

          For the past four years, I have not been able to come because of work, so I was hell-bent to get there by hook or by crook this year. I am really looking forward to putting seeing as many our our GC family as possible, as well as a cuppa of course :snork:

            Mrs JWK and myself are coming. I'll bring my spare tomato plants for you @fat controller if you still need some?

                I am actually OK I think John, as my salvage efforts seem to have worked. The only one that I haven't got is a Black Krim, but even then I think we should have enough. I am planning on being there fairly early on the Saturday, so hope to see you there?

                  Being early is the best time to get plants :). We have a few regular early birds who come just to buy plants. One man used to come and buy a lot of them and, I think, sold them on at a car boot sale the same morning! :noidea:

                    Being a recently ex-bishops Stortfordian, I would have loved to come, having driven past many times over the years, I expect. But my daughter, who still lives in Stortford is coming to see me in Devon that weekend! Might be a bit rude to sail past her on the M4 as I head to yours... Maybe next year.

                      Thanks. :dbgrtmb:

                      Next year you can arrange it in reverse. :) We're on the road from the Heath to Sawbo station. :) We had almost 500 people turn up last year.

                            The address is in post No. 1 on this thread (in a picture of our poster) and FC very kindly added a link on that post so that you can get a full size version of it. :dbgrtmb:

                            It looks as though we may have over a dozen GC'ers this year. Don't know whether @Webmaster can make it this year, but I hope so. :dbgrtmb:
