Are you dressing up as a poompkin Bindi?

Fantastic meeting, Mark Rowland gave a very informative talk to a bigger than expected crowd

I'll second Bindi's comments - an excellent talk (included turtles as well!), and the cakes were good - thank you to Wendy, as usual.

justmeandmytortoise · 24-10-2010, 08:47 PM

Thanks again Bindi and Clare for your help.

It certainly was a large crowd and the presentation Mark gave was great.

Glad you liked the cakes ... and it was great to see some new faces and meet Aliza too.

Terrific day ..

Nice to have turtles touched on for you and Stephen Clare, you never did get to finish telling me about your indoor pond

Can anyone remember what the suction thing/process was called that Mark was starting to use to remove any debris or nasties from the injuries?
