It's something I regret *very* much having to say. Given this caveat, you cannot actually call it a 'meet' Sacha, since NO-ONE can ever be excluded from a true meet. Better call it 'a soiree' or some other such pretentious nonsense! Was that really necessary, why on earth did you make that nasty comment for - I am gobsmacked!!! Judith, I have never, ever, in all my years on Usenet, seen anyone arranging a meet, and then saying that certain people aren't welcome! A meet is open to all, and if it _isn't_ then it's not a meet!! But does it matter Anne? there are some people who are deliberately baiting Sacha, it's not fair and it's unkind and I don't mean you, I have always found you to be generous in your comments to all. After all a meet is not official or otherwise, it is a collection of people of like minds, who have an interest in gardening and there are no rules about invitations etc. Lets just leave Sacha to enjoy people coming to her home who are happy to see her and I will be one of those. No-one is baiting Sacha. If anything, she is baiting them by announcing that they are not invited. What's wrong with that? When you have a party, don't you choose who to invite and who not to invite? As I see it the only alternative would be to invite all comers, with the risk that certain troublemakers might turn up to carry on their argument in person. As to identifying the people by name, that seems unnecessary and would only cause more argument. If anyone has reason to think it might apply to them, they will presumably choose to stay away. I have never met Sacha, but in her place I would do just the same. |

We know we are a long way down and most will not want to make the extra journey. Any one who does want to make a short break of it we are within half a mile of two camp sites and numerous B&Bs I will ask nearer the time who might be coming. Charlie, how long would it take to drive from our meet to your meet, do you think? I'm just thinking it would help people to plan their weekend as they could decide whether to drive down to your area on the Saturday night or the Sunday morning. I imagine being a Saturday meet here, it's going to be difficult for you and Liz to get away and come to lunch here? If you can make it, that would be lovely! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) Liz says its about a 2 hour drive via Plymouth and if no one wants to come down here (i.e. no takers!) then we may consider coming up on the Saturday in order to meet people although its our only free weekend until end of September so we may chicken out :~) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collections of Clematis viticella (cvs) and Lapageria rosea |

Oh so a 'meet' has to include absolutely everyone? I live and learn. Better call it 'a soiree' or some other such pretentious nonsense! Well you can call it what you like, the rest will continue to refer to it as a 'meet' irrespective of exclusions. Well.....we could have it in the dark, I suppose....... ;-)) It wouldn't be much of a candle lit supper. :o) ? in the dark. Storm lanterns, torches in bamboo poles? The possibilities are endless but as it's lunch, we should be okay unless I've inadvertently chosen the date of an eclipse or something! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

"Martin" wrote Can anybody explain why Google groups inserts "Hide quoted text - Show quoted text -" ? I don't post via Google but often use the archive to check for past threads or particular answers. Isn't the hide/show just for choice? You can click on the 'show' so it reveals the whole message as written, with the parts of the previous message that the poster quoted, or hide the quotes if you prefer. I think it's just to save screen space. -- Sue |

The thing that absolutely amazes me, is that two women who so often make crystal clear their thorough dislike of me would even consider wanting to come to our home and make this ridiculous foot-stamping fuss about doing something they don't want to do with someone they don't like! If people here can't figure out for themselves who the two banned people are and why, they really have NOT been paying attention to this group for a lonnnnng time. Naming them would simply have given them the attention they desire but don't merit, IMO. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

"Janet Tweedy" wrote in message ... In article , Sue writes Hardly. It was just bitchy and silly. Obviously anyone hosting a meet on their own property is at liberty to include or exclude anyone they wish. Not to mention the fact that if you can't exclude some people from a meet on your own property then no one would feel happy about holding them! After all it's not a public Meeting in a Park or Gardens which would be something completely different. I didn't know that 'Meet' had a rigid definition! After all (to be pedantic) an Annual General Meeting excludes all but those on a fully paid up Membership List. If people have an objection to a Meeting's venue or Guest List then perhaps another Meeting could be arranged by someone else to include those that feel excluded? -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk What ! A meeting of just two people. What a horrible thought if those two bred:-) |

Personally, I don't see a need to mention that some people might be excluded, if it is made clear that people wishing to attend should contact the organiser in advance, to request a 'ticket', and that entry will be permitted to ticket holders only. That would allow the organiser to control numbers and to exclude any known 'undesirables', if they were to apply, which seems unlikely, with minimum of fuss and embarrassment all round. |

June & Anne are not the people I will not have here, though after this display both would need the hides of rhinos to imagine they would be actually welcomed with open arms! As both of them dislike me so intensely, I don't understand why they are making all this fuss, other than the fact that both have made it clear that what they really want is a fight. Pathetic! It would be much more to the point, if they were thinking of the good of this group, if they deplored the behaviour in this group which led to me having to do this. Common sense would dictate that I am not having in our home, people who have sworn at me, insulted me, virtually stalked me and in one case harassed me for years. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

LOL you two aren't paying attention. The two women refers to the ones making the hoohah about who might or might not be excluded.

I wonder whether you have a small piece of ground I could camp on or whether you could recommend a camp-site nearby. You'd be very welcome to camp on our field, as long as it's not too rain sodden for you. Do you mean tent or van because for a van there's a car park? It will be lovely to meet you, Janet and I'm so glad you're coming. -- Many thanks for your welcome. It's a tent that I have in mind so a small corner of your field would be excellent. Janet G No problem at all. You might be better off on one of the lawns near the house though. But we can sort that out at the time. -- Thanks again. I'll be very happy to go wherever is convenient - but as you say, it can be decided at the time. Janet G |
