Dates for 2012

8 - 11 November 2012
 

From the President....

Hullo every one and to all a huge and sincere thanks.

Thanks to the garden owners who so generously open their gardens for our Garden Tours: Thanks to our guest presenters who came to Blenheim and shared their expertise, good humour and enthusiasm with so many of our visitors: Thanks to all of those who purchased a trade site at the Fete and offered such a brilliant array of products on what turned out to be a magical day in Seymour Square: Thanks to our volunteers and helpers, so many of you give up your time and provide all those necessary services and help, without which our event would not happen: Thanks to our sponsors, each and every one of you who provide the financial assistance and the product and service support that enables Hunter’s Garden Marlborough to be staged. And finally, and most sincerely, thanks to my committee and to Lizzie and Julia who make out office tick; without the committee nothing would be planned and prepared; without Lizzie and Julia all the planning and preparation would be for nought.

And so Hunter’s Garden Marlborough 2011 draws to a close and we will spend the next few weeks finalising the accounts and thinking seriously about 2012 and beyond. We will go through all of the survey forms that you, our visitors, filled out and will take note of (and act upon) the criticisms and complaints and consider the new ideas and thoughts that emerge.  Personally I was thrilled and delighted with how the event ran this year and so very pleased to see so many smiley faces over each day of happenings.

Thank you all for participating and we do hope we will see you back in 2012. We are thinking of changing a few things but it is far too early to make any promises or to say what might or might not change. Just keep an eye on this web site; and in the meantime enjoy the forthcoming festive season.

Season’s Greetings to All

Frank Metcalfe

President
