Grow Your Own Magazine

There are quite a few of us around sutton / croydon / bromley / south london etc
Who fancies a group meet?
I've already mentioned it to a few people via PM and all said yes
I don't have any dates or places planned so if you're up for a meet, make suggestions! I can be free almost any time

let me know if anything gets planned, we go into croydon to the big blue and yellow chimneys and a slovak deli in streatham quite regularly. not many grapes on the surrey/hants border tho so will be up for travelling east a bit

Just be ordinary and nothing special. Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water and when your'e tired go and lie down. The ignorant will laugh at me, but the wise will understand

I'm in, as FG already knows. My 'pad' can accomodate fairly sizable parties if we can't think of anywhere better!

(got a 30 strong committee meeting here at the end of the month!)

Terry

I am up for that....we could go watch the fighting in Croydon one night.

terry (TPeers) is a lady!
when i first looked and PM'd a few people, it seemed there were a lot more girl grapes than boy grapes - i thought i might end up being the only boy!

I'm a girl

What about Wisley Gardens as a venue?

Could be fun, I love Wisley, just remember they won't let you take a picnic in - you have to come out into the car park. What about the place in East Grinstead..... err.... Kew's place in the country...... arrgghh the name escaped me!

Titsley Foundation in Warlingham, nice grounds

do you mean this?
Titsey Estate

if so i drive past there every couple of weeks - lived round here for many years - never knew the place existed!

Doesn't open until May - is that a problem?

Has never been for me in the past. Just park in the top carpark and walk in.

If we are having a picnic it needs to be May time.
If we are pubbing it then any time.

I am definitely more up for Wisley rather than Tisley. (only selfish logistics.)

Is it just going just be a Grapes meetup or Grapes and families?

I don't mind either way but given I have a few 'issues' with taking Pippa out anywhere if there are going to be large groups, if we want to make it families I would rather selfishly like to be at or very near home.

I'm happy to offer my house and garden as a venue and will put on a b-b-q if that is an incentive.

Terry

Thats very generous of you Terry. I'd love to come.

Tracey

Just a suggestion - if anyone does have it at their house, we could all bring a dish.

Could have it at the Social club or canteen at the allotment. But would have to be soft drinks only (as we have amended the licance to members only...long and painfull story).

The other option is meet at the coast in the summer..

I would like to see Terrys chooks and maybe if I can glean a few gems of wisdom from her veg patch .

Maybe we could do a tour of the Surrey Grapes veg patches over late spring/ Summer/early Autumn. Summer's so short so depending how many are interested it could be every fortnight or 3 weeks?

I would find it really useful (and fun) as I don't know any veg growers in my area.

What do you think? Should we set up a schedule?
