    Hip Hop moment init :rolleyes:

    Please feel free to PYSL at my drawing ability, but I thought this would make a good car sticker, no background just etched lines.

    Bit like this one, but perhaps with colour ?

    You stick it to the inside of the window and when you peel it off only the lines remain. Looks very cool, the ones I have.

    Clearly someone needs to draw it more uniformally. :D

    PeterS - love you truly too and will wear my red rose for you one day with or without the abundance of free plants!

    Actually it was a very bad day for me, so would not have ben a good day for us to meet up, but I still regret not being able to.

    as to the badges, yes we have had some badges made for pence and have to say wear them with pride and I think they are now considered to be an historic piece of memoribilia, though I dare not say what event they marked.

    Like that, HB - nice and simple, but clear. That's very much the sort of thing that none of us would be uncomfortable wearing, I would think.

    I would say the gardeners world show in the nec is the better of the two to meet up as its on a train route when you get off the train at the nec you just go in the doors of the station and you are their..Its on a main train route as well..and you can get tickets cheap in advance..perhaps those from essex areas could share a mini bus or cars ?? The nec is betwen bham and coventry and all the main trains pass through..frequently..I think the gardeners world show is good as their are talks on all day and you can just go to which one interests you..last year i was lucky enough to see diarmuid gavin and meet jekka mcvicar..if its raining that day their are plenty of indoor halls and bars so the weather wont be a problem,.. Their is also a plant swop every year where you take a plant and gardeners world gives you one in return..Their are places to leave your plants during the day while you shop for more..plenty of offers and free seeds manicures etc..food halls where you can taste different food and try country wines and whiskys etc..well worth a day out ..their are also all the charitys woodland trust herb society and many more ..their are organic composting displays and lots of give a ways..well worth the ticket money when you leave the show at the end of the day they give you a carrier bag full of food samples ..so you get your ticket money back in different ways..i suppose we could all get together and buy bulk tickets we could get them cheaper.. :D

    Sounds good to me but I would have to drive up I always buy far too much to get on a train,I wouldn't mind taking anybody local with me as well or getting a minibus if enough people interested,Ive rang the bookings number and
    10-19 people cost �£14.40
    20-44 same price but one free for every 2o
    45 + �£13.60 plus one free for every 20 and don't laugh ONE free show guide for us all to share, if we decided to go down this route we would have to,
    1/ decide which day to go.
    2/or if different people wanted to go on different dates do seperate group bookings for each date.
    I would suggest if we have enough bodies who would like to go that we use the free persons ticket and spread the savings between us to bring our entrance price down.

    from the flyer that I've got with Gardeners World this month the BBC good homes and BBC good food summer festivals are all on at the same time and the garden pass gives you free entrance to these as well. [​IMG]

    Hi there,
    I think it would be nice to be able to meet all and exchange our experiences a few times a year, as part of members of the site. (i wouldn't mind a simple sticker instead than a big metal badge, by the way...)
    For me it is not so predictable though to know when I can be available, therefore I cannot really commit myself to say that i will be there if I then, on the day, I cannot make it.
    But if i had a few dates in which I know by sure that I am gonna find at least a few of you somewhere in the uk or Italy (ok, maybe not Italy! ), then I am pretty sure that this would be a good idea.

    Would be good to meet up, I'm happy for it to be either of the two Bham shows or Malvern which is a lovely location.

    I was thinking of going to Chelsea, here's hoping I get a ticket for my birthday [​IMG] I have hinted...
