1st CFV : Create unmoderated newsgroup uk.rec.gardening.allotments
In message , Gary Poston
writes Hi urg Hi Gary, glad to see you deigned to join us. What will I gain with reference to a proposed newsgroup urga? My interest is more what would I other posters and urg gain TBH. Well, What I will gain (and others) is bringing people together that rent or even own Allotments This might include, crop rotation, raised bed issues, local meetings, Club AGM's ECT, ECT... Will we discuss Fruit trees? or when to plant tomato plants? Well, Yes, Sometimes, but isn't that what urg newsgroup is for? I don't want to take that away from an excellent gardening newsgroup such as urg, but there are other discussions and issues that can be held in urga. All of the above, plus any other discussions you want are welcome in urg anyway. I remain unconvinced (not that you have done much to try and convince anyone) that there is a real demand for this group. Urg is not swamped by allotment specific questions, most of the discussion would be about the growing of plants etc, or other items of a general 'kitchen garden' nature anyway - which are not really in anyway specific to allotments - effectively splitting the place to discuss veg questions over two groups. While lack of contribution in the past to urg should not in itself be a reason to object necessarily, this along with the failure to raise the issue first in urg for 'informal' discussion probably does not dispose some people towards you and your proposition If it encourages new Allotment holders, SO BE IT!. I doubt it would make any difference. Who gives someone the right to object to such a group when it can benefit all of us? We all have the right to vote as we see fit, for whatever reasons we wish. however, I would dispute the claim that it would benefit all of us anyway. I've yet to vote (I've just picked up on the CFV) but I'm minded to vote no. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |
