    Is that you offering to play taxi for people from Cribb's Causeway to the "icebreaker" in return for plying you with ale at that pub on return?:D If so consider this passenger booked.

    I already have 3 plus myself in the car so another 1 shouldn't be a problem!

    Whilst I am at it, I might as well note that myself and my girlfriend will be requiring a lift back to the travel lodge after the icebreaker :) hopefully someone else staying there will have car-space!

    Come to think of it, maybe someone should start a thread specifically for such things?

    I suppose one might consider ... a busload! :) And yes, perhaps it is useful to put this in the Zoohistorica thread (?).

    I too will - and I suppose a number of other folks also - require transport back to Cribbs Causeway after the event.

    A very brief visit yesterday to Wild Place. They are in the process of preparing an extension to their lemur enclosure, and they plan to introduce a fourth lemur species onto the site. The ringtails seem very confident and at home in their new enclosure.

    Work is continuing with infrastructure at the site, the paths are being re-laid, making it accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs.

    Does anybody else know of any other plans for next year?

    The extension will be used for the animal feeding encounters with the Lemurs,and will hence not be open to the general public,but will be viewable from the outside by the public.

    As for plans for next year a few were mentioned by Bristols collection manager,whilst he was showing people round as part of zoohistorica,but as he said none of them were concrete so,at the moment they would only be rumour so I will not post them,as I know I for one would rather wait to hear plans that are concrete!
