I couldn't get to Harlow Carr but have photos as some of my good friends did. I met up with them and others at Chelsea and Tatton shows and another at Malvern. Still chat daily with 4 of them by email.
Many of the old posters moved to different boards or started their own boards or blogs when the Beeb announced impending closure but I like it here - good mix of experience and friendliness on the whole so easy to dip in and out.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Another ex-Beeb with same name here.
Many previous members are distributed between various breakaway boards, usually set-up following discontent of one form or another.
The first being 'Allotments 4 All' www.allotments4all.co.uk/
Then, 'The Alternative Potting Shed' http://thepottingshed.proboards.com/
Next, 'Gardeners World Discussions' http://gardenworld.proboards.com/
Then came the no longer operating 'Friendly Gardens'.
Of course ( the never to be forgotten) 'Fork Handles'.
I like "Fork Handles" as well as here, it's small and intimate, so you can play games and get to know each other.
Perhaps I was just unfortunate to incur the wrath of El Cid.
