    Yes, if you could move the date back to the end of October, then I might be able to attend (if you can stand listening to an American accent). Would probably need to be in London, though. I will land in London on afternoon of Saturday, October 24, so could do it that night. Then I'm off to Paris but back in London from evening of Wednesday, October 28 through morning of Saturday, October 31.

    Of course, I don't expect everyone to arrange their schedule around my trip. Just thought I would mention it on the chance that it works out.

    I think different UK gatherings in different regions would work well for the British Zoochatters on here so no vast distances need to be traversed if this is wanted. For example:

    Scotland: Edinburgh
    Northern Wales/England: Chester
    South Wales/Midlands: Twycross
    West England: Paignton
    Southern England: Marwell
    Eastern England: London

    These are just ideas for possible meet-ups by the way.

    Saturday 3rd or Sunday 4th October 2009. Chester UK.

    This is the date that we have started with from the start. For me its the date that works. It is also the same date as the Bartlett society meet. Just by chance! So it seems a good date to be at Chester.

    Marwell Dalek, you guys and your long trips :p:p

    Were just not used to the long journeys, coupled with the fact that our road networks a mess makes long journeys a chore. ;)

    I wish I didn't have such an active mind! That's almost the start of having regional UK Zoo Chat Groups, possibly with quarterly get togethers and then a big annual get together at a different zoo each year for UK wide! Or is that my mind racing away again?
