Hi Paul, the Australian Chrysanthemum
Council congratulates the N.C.S. on their gold medal success at the
Chelsea Flower Show . No doubt the magnificent display of chrysanthemums
will rekindle the avid gardeners interest to grow a few plants in their
own garden.

To: Website Team
Topic: Quality and in depth
coverage.
Feedback: The old adage says "I can't, but I know a man who
can". In all walks of life and knowledge, individuals stand out for
their skills. The development of the website has gone from strength to
strength, and the website operator is not only very keen but highly
skilled as well. Long may this continuing improvement go on. The site
brings credit to the Society but particularly to Paul Barlow, and the rest
of the development team. (20/05/08). |

Topic: The new NCS Website.
Feedback: The NCS Website just gets better and better, and with all that
information one can spend quite some time browsing the many articles and
information that it contains. Many thanks must go out to the webmaster and
team for all the work they put in to make the site a real winner. Also,
because of growers personal websites and E mail addresses, there is now an
opportunity for more contact, and that can't be a bad thing. Thanks again
team.

I have in the past been very
critical of the NCS and it's lack of information to members. The way this
new site is set out is first class and I am sure others will think so too.
The general gardener can at last see what we are about. I now have
somewhere to shout about when I go to meetings and Talk and Judge. So it
is 'well done' to all the NCS who have made this possible. Regards John

I go along with what Ivor has said,
the quality of the site shines. Very informative. I do hope Members,
Garden enthusiast & the General Public will come to appreciate this
quality site. From me, a small cog in the wheel, well done. Kindest
Regards Harry (28/03/08) |

Paul, specialist horticultural societies
have fallen on hard times recently; almost all of them have seen a
reduction in numbers of members. As older people leave us we hope to get
younger ones interested to take our place. Young people use the internet
extensively, that's why a top class website is essential for all
specialist societies.
Your website is the best horticultural website I've come across in the
world. (Yes the world). The begonia society website runs a close second. I
presume their webmaster is someone like you, an IT expert, very
knowledgeable about begonias, and enthusiastic.
May I congratulate the trustees of the
National Chrysanthemum Society for recognising the fact that the website
is of utmost importance. May I thank you personally and I'm sure on behalf
of all chrysanth enthusiasts for providing this new NCS website. In John
Peace you have someone as committed and passionate as yourself, along with
Harry Lawson you will make a great team. I know you will keep us all
informed with up to date information on chrysanths. I am very excited
about the future of chrysanthemums in the UK. Please stay healthy and keep
it up. We owe all three of you a great debt of gratitude.
Kind Regards, Ivor Mace. (26/03/08) |

Paul, I have been
away on holiday the last 2 weeks and have just got back this week end and
so first opportunity to have a look and my initial reaction is excellent.
I have only spent about half hour looking at this but find access around
the site first class.
Regards,

Hi Harry, may I
introduce myself, I am Terry Williams of the Swansea Chrysanthemum Society
also a member of the N.C.S. I have been looking through the new N.C.S. web
site and was very impressed in the way it was set up, also very easy to
get around the site. I was very interested to see that you are a keen
photographer, I am also of the same interest for quite a number of years,
did black and white and colour also printing all with Canon equipment like
yourself. I have now changed to digital photography so we could have a lot
to talk about with Photoshop on the computer. Will be keen to follow the
new web site with great interest, and give my regards to the rest of the
team involved, good luck in the new venture.
All the best, Terry Williams (Swansea Chrysanthemum Society) |

Hi John, I look
forward to the new NCS Website and all the comments. I had intended being
at the AGM on Saturday, but as normal the best laid plans don't always
work out. I look forward to exchanging views with you again.

Hi John, You may
not remember, but I wrote to you a week or so ago saying how very pleased
I was with the rooted cuttings, that I received from you. Also, like
your new N.C.S. Website.
Kind Regards, and once again many thanks. John Patterson. West Sussex. |

Hi Paul, Common
sense at last, the right people for the right jobs. Browsed the new N.C.S.
web site - looks very good, like all the up to date items. Can you keep
this up? Like the committee minutes, one can now get information straight
from the source, will we get minutes from quarterly meetings as well? John
Jozefow. |

Hello Paul, Had a
look at the new Web Site, looks very good. I could possibly renew my
membership on the strength of it. There's talk of a feedback form - a good
idea if it works both ways. I had better send Peter a cheque!
Gordon. |

Paul,
Welcome to the team, hope the web site continues in the way you've started
it. I'm sending you a few attachments that you can use as you wish.
