Tortoise Friends - Oxfordshire

joeshep · 13-09-2010, 01:01 PM

Hi there! Just wondered if anybody out there owns Tortoises in the oxfordshire area. We live in Banbury and noticed there aren't any clubs/groups in the area focussing on all things Tortoises. So we're starting one up, just something informal at first, just to meet up have drinks and talk 'Tortoise' then take it from there and hopefully become large enough that we might be able to get speakers in, if you would be up for it then feel free to contact myself. website coming soon!

Awesome, possible date for first meeting will most likely be in November and then every 3 months! would like to get some more people in the area involved as well to build up a local community of Tortoise lovers! Facebook group and Twitter will be available shortly and the website is on it's way! Hopefully, if you know anyone else in the area who might want to attend then spread the word!
