I always take my lot to the Cheltenham one. It's very useful and the people there are very helpful and friendly. I will have to take six torts this time. Not quite sure how I am going to manage that. Wish they did home visits!! :). Will have to get the recent addition fingerprinted like the rest of them.

Thank you I am pleased we are able to help. look forward to chatting with you again Please note the changed date we will be a week later as we have been invited to a series of lectures by eminent tortoise and turtle specialists in Germany normally held in the USA which is just a tad too far for 4 days!

Can you confirm this is the definite date for Cheltenham please?. I have just double checked it was already in my diary and I have April 18th down. This is the date on the sticker that goes on the tortoise passports.

Many Thanks.

Yes it is the definite date we were not asked to go to these lectures till a couple of weeks ago and as you know we book our Health Checks 6 months or so in advance. This was however too good a chance to miss. I hope you will still be able to come.
we always do the health check on a Sunday as well. As I work there if I am not present it doesn't happen even though others could do the checks.

Thanks for confirming the date. Glad you posted otherwise I would have turned up a week too late and been a bit miffed as I really enjoy going and talking about my tortoises. Think its the only place I can talk about tortoises where peoples eyes don't glaze over!!. I think I know who you are so will come and say hello in April. Enjoy the lectures in Germany.

We arein Cheltenham on the 25th April a week later I am the one with the dyed curly hair and the guy with a beard!

Bumping this up. Health check next week for anyone interested. Birmingham Nature Centre 10.00 till 4.00
