urg meet
I'm still hoping to have an urg meet here on 7th July with the option of
going down to Charlie's nursery on the 8th - people could probably take in the Eden Project that day, too but Charlie will give timings and directions for that! People who want to make it a bit of a holiday could perhaps, go on from Charlie's to Penzance and take the helicopter to Tresco the next day for a day or overnight trip. For those who'd like to come here, we have room in the car park for a couple or three caravans, as those who have been before will know; lunch is on us and the evenings are, as tour directors say, 'at liberty'. ;-) There are several good b&bs in and around this village and a very little further afield and there is plenty to see and do in the area generally. Our local pub is very good and there are other and excellent ones around here, too. If anyone who hopes to come wants to know about local accommodation, let me know. I've been in contact with Cormaic and they're going to try to make it if they can. Unhappily, recent developments in this group mean that two people are not included in this open invitation and I feel quite sure they know who they are, so am going into that no further. It's something I regret *very* much having to say. If you would like to join us, please email me or let me know here and if anyone has any food allergies, please nudge me nearer the time. I'll post a reminder a bit later, too. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

What's your nearest airport and if I come, can you pick me up from the airport if it's not too far away. If it is, I will hire a car. Judith at home |

Sally that would be lovely and yes, South Zeal isn't too far off, maybe 45 minutes or so. Bring your cousin if you think he or she would like to come. A past urgler brought her son and it's a very easy-going arrangement in which we pray only for good weather! I've been lucky the last twice and we've been able to eat in the respective gardens. Usually, we get together over coffee around 11 - others may do it differently, of course, but on my two previous meets, that's how we did it. If people want to bring plants to swap that's the time it happens, the chat goes on, people wander round the garden (and nursery in our case), have lunch, chat a bit more, have a bit more wine, chat some more, wander again and toddle off when they're ready. If enough people want to stick around this area and have a sort of group dinner at our local pub, I can book a table in advance for that but will have to have firm numbers a week before and all the surnames so the landlady can sort out the bills! If people want to push on down to Charlie's that evening, they'll have a whole day for Charlie's nursery and for Eden. I do hope you come, it would be lovely to meet you. It's always fun putting faces to names, too! Have a look at this and you'll see some of us, past and present urglers and the late and deeply lamented Edward Sparkes whose wife, Jennifer, still posts here and will come to this July's meet, I hope JENNIFER!

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.

You specifically said there were two people you were not inviting out of all those who read and write here. That makes people feel uncomfortable but you must have known that. It is like the child at school announcing in front of the whole class, 'I am having a birthday party for everyone in the class, except for two people'. It would surely have been better if you had emailed those you were inviting. You can do that in one email addressed to many, as I am sure you are aware. You have mentioned since how you have heard from people about others trying to sabotage your party. If you had restricted your announcements to email, that would not have happened, would it?

I will be having an urg meet and again, there is a person that I would not like to see in my home. I have been to meets where an individual would not be welcome, this is life, we invite into our sitting rooms members of a group and if one or two are excluded, then too bad. If I had insulted anyone the way Sacha has been insulted, then I would be very surprised indeed if I were invited.

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! Contact Puce for bookings for the urg summer holiday in Aran in the Big Red Bus. I see our resident troll is back - for goodness sake what started out as an invitation to a meet has turned into one or two people grinding their own particular axes, we are all bored to death with it - give it a rest. Not necessarily, Judith. Two people were specifically excluded from the invitation. If you want to make someone feel uncomfortable, that is the way to do it. She could just as well have invited people by email and left it out of urg altogether. That way, those who were excluded didn't have to know about it and those she wanted to attend would. Instead of that, she broadcast it for all to see. Would you like it if it were you who were excluded? -- June Hughes- Hide quoted text - What do you mean by 'hide quoted text'? I had no quoted text. Why on earth should she invite by email, it is an urg meet and if certain people have offended her, then it is her right not to invite them. It is a meet of selected urg people, and therefore private. As already said, this is Usenet. I will be having an urg meet and again, there is a person that I would not like to see in my home. I have been to meets where an individual would not be welcome, this is life, we invite into our sitting rooms members of a group and if one or two are excluded, then too bad. If I had insulted anyone the way Sacha has been insulted, then I would be very surprised indeed if I were invited. This is my last word on the subject as all genuine urglers are sick to the teeth of this. Yes, I expect they are. I can't understand why you insist on carrying it on. -- June Hughes |

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?

Writing as one of the people Sacha loves to ostracise, I don't think it was nasty. Just a fair comment. 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. Really it'd be far pleasanter all round if you and Anne could try and resist dragging up old arguments and grudges at every turn. It's unnecessary, and verges on trolling. -- Sue |

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. Kind regards Judith |
