Since we are dissing the SPAM instead of just ignoring it

Why do you think it is spam? Apart from the missing "AD" in the
header, it's not really a charterbuster. A wildflower day trip itself
is potentially relevant to UK gardeners who might be visiting Cyprus...
if the organiser gets his act and amateurish webpage together.

One of the people mentioned as a leader of the group is Pat Jordan;
she is well known and accredited in Scottish gardening circles. I've
been to her (fantastic) previous garden in Scotland and met her. She now
lives in Cyprus.

Janet.

So any firm with garden related holidays, gardening products even garden
books, can advertise here free of charge?


Yes, if they comply with the group charter.

I think not,


How many years have you been posting here, how many times has this

"Advertising
Advertising is not welcome, with the following exceptions:

Suppliers of UK-relevant gardening equipment, services or plant
material may post a pointer to their website or invitation to request a
catalogue. This may not exceed four lines. This may be posted no more
often than once every three months. The subject line should begin "AD"
or "ADVERT".

The OP, posted two lines with a link, pointing readers to their
website advertising a garden related service relevant to UK gardeners on
holiday in Cyprus. All he missed, was the "Ad" in header.

I'll bow to your superior knowledge and wide screen monitor, or do you
just use very small print?
