Any one planning on going to this?

The schedule looks very interesting in particular being a new keeper is the talk by Zoe Bryant.

Zoe Bryant: London Zoo ZSL reptile team member will be joining us to talk about their conservation and welfare work relating to Chelonia including enclosure design, studies and species enrichment.

I'm going along with some other people from Berkshire Tortoise Club, looks like it's going to be a great event.

Frances Bains who is an expert on uvb and tortoises is speaking. Also Ed Pirog who was at one time one of the most frequent posters on this forum. Sadly I can't justify a trip from Glasgow to Colchester at this time.

Hi if you search google for tortoise convention 2015 all the details can be found on there.

Apologies Tortoise welfare conference 2015.
It is held at Colchester Zoo. Hopefully we will have time in the lunch break to see the tortoise enclosures.
