RFD: uk.rec.gardening.allotments
Repeat Post--
Hello Everyone, I do hope that this message gets out to you all as my ISP seems to be getting a few problems at the moment. I've been lurking on urg for sometime and see a need for an Allotment group forming. I can't yet see a valid explanation why the RFD uk.rec.gardens.allotments can't be formed. (Unless for administration purposes) uk.rec.gardens.allotments is an idea from my good self for Allotment holders to share in the ideas and plans into what is expected to be planted at different times of the year, (newbie's) also, allotments are not just a general "back garden" affair as you all well know. Basically it's a "Corner of the room" (as someone already pointed out) so we can talk just about anything on "Allotments". For example, Local Meetings, Annual General Meetings and Local Allotment Functions or just a get together at the local public house. Yes, we will indeed may well talk about "Seeds" Planting Methods" "Greenhouse's" but this will be our little corner of the room to do so. I don't see why you would persist to object to this new group forming. It's not going to take away people from urg. After all it's a free country I'm not sure if I could stop "cross posting" unless I do make amendments to my charter. However I still won't be able to stop this if people persist in doing so. Thank you to all those that would support such a group and hope that this group can be formed in the not to distant future. I'm sure we could come to some agreement on this and to iron out any problems that it may or may not cause. Regards Gary Poston Proponent: uk.rec.gardening.allotments |

"Gary Poston" wrote in message om... I am opposed to the newly proposed group, since there is no need at all for it. URG at present has a number of allotment holders as members, and their post is always very interesting. There is no need at all for other folk interested in allotments to have a separate group. Such a group would dilute the range of interest of URG for no benefit to anybody. All the post to the new group will very soon find itself crossposted to URG The new group would become moribund in less than a year. I oppose its formation. Franz |

"BigAl" wrote in message ... "David Hill" wrote in message ... Well this proposed group will either take off or end like england.rec.gardening and free.uk.gardening, Time will tell, but I an certain that it will take nothing away from uk.rec.gardening Not that I have an interest in gardening (as anyone who looks at mine will testify) and wouldn't therefore vote but I thought I'd check some figures via Google. uk.rec.gardening turned up an estimated 148,000 posts of which 4,940 (earliest of which appears to be from March 2002)had the word allotment in them. And that would probably underestimate the total number, because many of them would not explicitly mention the word "allotment". Franz |
