I have my Europe schedule finalized and it happens that I will be at Port Lympne Animal Park on a Sunday. Since it is a weekend, I am wondering if there is interest in having a ZooChat meetup with your American friend? Date is September 26. (For western Europeans outside of UK, it is easy to get there from the Ashford Eurostar station). Just thought I would throw it out there and see if there is any interest.
I might be able to make the trip but i will only really want to go if others do as well. Ask about it on the UK forums im sure you will get some more responses there.
