Northwest YOp! Zoo trip!!!!
As there are quite a few of us that live fairly close to each other, some of us have thought it would be a great idea to meet up at Chester Zoo.
http://www.chesterzoo.org/
Anybody is welcome, but it would be adults only, as the whole point is to get out and take pics without having to watch the kids at the same time
So put your name down if interested, and when you would like to go
Phil has suggested September , which is a good idea
, the kids will be at school, the Zoo a lot less busy, and the animals will be active without being lethargic because it is too hot.
(It also gives me time to save up for a decent tripod)

Well, that is KK, Fudgely, maybe PD and Phil .
Oh, and me too
If enough go we could probably get a booking discount for a group.
Just looked on website.
If we can get 15!!!!!!! to go it is £9.95 each.
I don't think there will be 15 do you????
Zoundz I come to Wales about twice a year to see family , so I could maybe make a Wales YoP! trip
