I've got tickets for Friday and just wondered if anyone else is going.

    Didn't think we'd be able to go, but Friday is unexpectedly free, so have my fingers crossed. Haven't been since the changes to marquee layouts etc, were made so I'd like to see them. Forecast looks quite good too!

    We're going tomorrow too (Friday).  Can't afford Thursday tickets, I'm a poor pensioner. :)

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Will take photos and post them.  Sorry you can't make it AnniD.  Maybe we'll bump into each other KT53.  Still think we should have some sort of GW ID so we can recognise each other when we are out and about.

    Just back from an enjoyable and expensive trip to the Spring Show.  Cost to get in on a Friday is now an eye watering £26 per person.  I know I could save money by purchasing tickets in advance but we want the freedom of being able to choose which day we go.  No point in going in the p'ing rain on a fixed day, if we know the weather is going to be better on another.
    That said, it was worth going.  The layout of the Floral Marquee has changed again, but I don't think they have got it quite right.  Some of the walkways are quite narrow again but there are massive empty areas in the middle too - very odd.  Many of the 'sheds' are given over to antiques and vintage this year, that's new and I'm not criticising despite the content being of no great interest to me.  It's good to see them ringing the changes.
    We did get quite a few nice plants so out in the garden tomorrow after they get a good soak this evening.
    The major benefit we saw from a Friday visit as opposed to our normal Saturday/Sunday is fewer people around in the first couple of hours.
