The ish meet thread

[Shirley]

I would be happy to arrange another picnic in the park in Edinburgh.... wondering if the meadows might be better than Princess street gardens? but PSG has shelters if it rains... last year it poured, and we shared a shelter with a group of inebriated locals.... it was like street theatre....lol...

Would love to get to a Scottish meet - perhaps we need a couple. North-ish and South-ish. Edinburgh is over 100 miles from here and we'd need to overnight somewhere to make it more enjoyable. Hoping that we'll have a Neeps camp this year too - will announce it here if we do so that any Ishers in the area can come along too.

On reviewing finances - a Scottish meet would be a lot more feasible - hadn't noticed the cost of the other festivals! Botanic Gardens?

Botanic Gardens in Glasgow might be a better idea - I had thought that Edinburgh was more accessible but I am not so sure - I am from Glasgow (specifically from a street 1 block away from the botanics) so I can give people directions... and if it pisses it down we can all have our picnic in the kibble palace.

Meeting at the botanical gardens would be perfect, jane and i will probably stay over,will watch with interest.

Our little meet up in London last year became a bit of a "Swap Fair" with seeds and lavender being swapped for marmalade and food. Anyone up for a "Swap Fair" in the south west?

Cheers
Zoe

could be good!

YUP!... ar you talking about visiting the Edinburgh Botanics or Glasgow (I was talking of Glasgow) TBH we are about equidistant from Glasgow and Edinburgh and could do with a trip to either..... do you want to set a date and a place I think we might be too busy on the 14th but another day should be great

This time Anne we are going to Edinburgh, and staying on the 12th to the 15th sunday when we will travel back to the NE, i dont know if you can make it would be great to see you otherwise we can meet up on an official day.
all the best
