With exactly a week to go to the IZES summer meeting,it is pertinent to give an outline of the fairly brief agenda. People attending the meeting should state so at the entrance and will be given a badge. Myself and/or Mike Grayson will collect the participation/entrance fee at the event room(£8 IZES members,£12 non-members). The swap/meet of ephemera and introduction/welcome is at 2.00pm(all tables are now taken) and there will be a tour of the zoo with the director(and ZooChat contributor) after the official closing time which will be over by around 7.30 pm(the rest of the day around this fascinating collection is your own). Anyone that wishes to join the IZES on the day can do so(£20)..thus saving £4 on the participation fee,also a saving of £5-10 on the forthcoming American zoo book and they will get the new edition of Zoo Grapevine and International Zoo News to take away with them. Hopefully that is fairly clear.
