Depending a bit on other family events coming up, we'd probably try to do
a
meet in mid July OR, if it clashes with yours, I could try to move it into
May, as long as it doesn't hit a Bank Holiday w/e. It's really a
question
of what is convenient to others in terms of trekking to the far SW!
We weren't able to do our Grand Tour of UK this year as we'd hoped, so
would
quite like to plan it for mid July to mid August of next year. Unhappily,
we really can't get away to see gardens at their very best time because
it's
such a busy time here.
Perhaps urglers would like to add their ideas of the best times to get
away
to a meet and perhaps to make it part of a long w/e?

Dependant on the date you decide on, we would be happy to see any urglers
who decided to make more of a break of it and venture down a little further.
I am guessing you normally go for a weekend so we may be off working but if
not would like to join in, though no chance of us getting away at that time
of year (unless its work!) I will keep an eye on the thread to see what you
all decide on. (7th & 8th July look quiet at present)

For us, it will depend a bit on the date of the Devon show but that's
usually May. We *might* do the Royal Cornwall next year but no decision
yet.
Certainly week days are 'easier' for us but probably not for many urglers,
is my guess. Those wishing to come could perhaps do what some did last time
and make it a bit of a holiday break. That way, they could come here one
day and on to you the next, taking in the Eden Project, perhaps? And of
course, there's Rosemoor up north a bit and now Greenway is open to the
public, too.
A sort of 'two for the price of one' sounds a good idea, Charlie. And the
really keen with time to spare could take a day to Tresco, too and visit the
Abbey Gardens there.
Thinking along those lines I'd like to recommend the 'places to stay' books
by Alastair Sawday to those who don't know them.
