I forgot the date

Sunday 20th June

[Kirkie]

Evening all,

I had a chat with Wendy about this a while back then promptly forgot about it.

As the meeting will be held on a blazing hot, sunny June afternoon () if anyone attending wishes to bring along their MVB Bulbs or UVB emitting tubes, I'm willing to bring along my Solarmeter 6.2 and give them an MOT for UVB output.

Easier all round if you bring the fittings (especially any flouro tubes as the starters are specific to the tube length).

No charge.

Thanks for this great offer ... one not to be missed

Anyone and everyone are welcome to attend any of our meetings, which start about 2pm and continue until you wish to leave (around 5.30pm). I appreciate for some they are far away, but I try and arrange good speakers to cover great topics so that one day you feel the trip is well worth the visit. You can pick and choose which ones to come to and I only ask £3 per person to help cover the cost of the hall, speaker and refreshments.

We have three terrific vets speak each year and for those of you living far away, these may be of great interest if nothing else.

Some travel many miles to our meetings and return for more - which is a great compliment.

I am always open to topics suggestions and we are a great crowd who are very friendly .... Kent is a lovely place so you can always combine a meeting with a day trip or weekend break away.

Hope that helps

[sandy]

I will be there Wendy, looking forward to the speakers.

[justmeandmytortoise]

Will get the cookery books out once again ... but could be cream teas - scones, real whipped cream and jam
