I'm up for that

Excellent! A subject that I'm sure would be of great interest to very many Tortoise Keeper's.
Paradoxically, this species has won the hearts of very many new Tortoise keepers here in the UK, and hopefully with good education, and support from Forums such as this we might see a whole new generation of Cheloniaphiles be embraced into the hobby!

Hi Colette,

The venue is fairly easy to get to from London. I get a train to Hayes, then a bus. About 45 minutes from London Bridge to the hall if you time it right.

When the vet speaker from Essex comes down for a presentation there are often people from Essex too ... so you might get a lift. Also, if you can get to Dartford one of the members may be able to give you a lift from there as many live around Dartford.
