Hello all :)

I am another zoo fan, with a particular interest in the history of zoos (I blame the book ‘London Zoo from Old Photographs’!). I’ve got books about zoo history, and spend almost as much time looking at the old buildings and enclosures as I do the animals! I’ve even started collecting zoo memorabilia as and when I come across it. At the zoo I’m more likely to be carrying a sketchbook than a camera. I’ve been lurking around for a while now and finally plucked up the courage to join properly. Been having a lot of fun looking through the galleries, especially the zoos I remember visiting as a child (Whipsnade, London and Windsor). Looking forward to joining in the forums :)

Welcome to ZooChat Crowthorne!

Zoo history is a popular topic in our community, and I'm sure you'll have lots to contribute there. Also feel free to post photos of your sketches in the gallery, I'm sure lots of people would be interested in those!
 
Thank you everyone :)
 
Thank you Bele. I'm not a member of the Bartlet Society yet, I only recently found out that there were other people interested in zoo history, always thought it was just me! Will definitely look into the Bartlet Society though, it sounds very interesting :)
