No sorry .. we cover Kent and London and people travel as far away as Cheshire, Norfolk, Hampshire etc to attend a meeting they are interested in.
You would always be welcome if there is a particular topic or speaker of interest to you.

How'd you swing that? I'm guessing the talk will either be on the tortoise farms or that one rescue that was closed down... and reopened...

Chris Newman, will be doing a presentation about Tortoise Farming which provides a fantastic account of his investigations into this often controversial subject. Informed, and brilliantly illustrated, it gives an opportunity for hobbyists to properly understand this phenomenon, which has fuelled much anxious debate on this forum over the past few years. Looks set to be a great meeting.

So reads like an advert.
It's not a phenomenon. Herpers have been doing this for 20... 30 years. The chelonian community is slowly catching up. Quote:

Hi wendy
Can u book me 3 places. I think this will be worth the trip down. For many years i have noted chris's posts on numerous forums standing up for the rights of herpers and traders. Needless to say sometimes having heated discusions with people in the tortoise world. He has also had an active role in countering the activities of the anti reptile keeping supporters. I would think alot of uk tortoise breeders and keepers would find interest in this talk. Andy Suffolk tortoise club.
