JULY 2008 KEW MEET-UP (...was "Anyone for Cliveden or Kew?")

[homeward]

THIS TOPIC IS NOW FOR THE DISCUSSION OF A MEET-UP AT KEW ON SUNDAY 6 JULY... -- PLEASE SEE THE END OF THE THREAD!

TA!

==========

Just getting some ideas for a late-spring meet-up, a la last autumn's Kew Goils vs Boi(s)/Canons vs Nikon fun-fest!

Quite happy to take on the organization, if the venue makes sense to me...!

Cheers...

PS: If you don't see me or Ray around for a while, it could be because of this...

London police target photographers

...so please read this, for when you have to bail us out of jail for being "odd":

Kew was lots of fun last time so count me in for either of those venues. Have you got a date yet? Are we talking April?

Sounds good to me! I still have about 600 acres of unexplored Kew to cover...

[gaild]

I'm happy with Kew or Cliveden.

[johnwaine]

I won't know until the last moment, but please keep me informed.

Saturday or Sunday?

[homeward]

Sunday seemed to be most popular, last time: so I'm going to stick with that for the moment, unless I'm told otherwise...

I was thinking somewhere around the end of April (20th, 27th) for, say, Cliveden; and perhaps July (6th and 20th are best for me...) for a return to Kew (for which I now have a small number of free entry tickets... -- first come, first served!) -- the new treetop walkway will be up, then; and the Garden Photographer of the Year Exhibition will also be on, as part of the Year of the Tree Festival....

No poll, this time: just let me know availability, please -- especially for April!

Ta...!

Hey, Kew was kewl last time Might be able to make 6 or 20 July and will know nearer the time. Is it safe to let Nicky on the treetop walkway ?

I've never been to Cliveden but can't do 20 or 27 April unfortunately


Rose

[gaild]

In April I can do 12 or 13 and 26 or 27. July 6 or 20th look fine for me.

[mrutter]

April 27th would be good for me

[homeward]

It looks like Cliveden on 27 April is the best bet, then: so I shall send a message to the usual suspects; and we'll take it from there! In the meantime, feel free to PM/email me, to let me know...!

(I shall send out directions, etc. a little nearer the time, once I have a better idea of who's going to turn up!)

Cheers...

PS: I shall sort out Kew in May/June...!?!

[gaild]

I'm still keen... anyone else out there want to join us?

Gail

[homeward]

Final arrangements have now (finally...) been made for Cliveden... -- but if you want to join in, just PMail me, and I'll send you the details!

Fingers crossed for good weather...

PS: The next Kew meet-up will almost certainly take place in July (6th or 20th).

Thanks, guys! It was a great day out.

Count me in.....

Well, after some humming, and quite a lot of ha-ing... -- I've decided it'll be 6 July for the Kew Gardens 're-meet'. (I do so love the power that comes with being the organizer of these things...! ) So please let me know -- either here, or by PMail -- whether you can make it. Ta!

(Although the Henry Moore sculptures have gone, the tree-walk will be open (much to my dismay... ); and the Garden Photographer of the Year exhibition will be running -- giving us all the opportunity to say "Ooh: I think I could do a lot better than that...", etc....!?! )

I can't promise it'll be nice weather... -- but I'll do my best...!

Cheers...
