With thousands of fellows wanting to go surely that’s the fair option

You'd think they'd let you apply and then draw randomly from those, though - presumably lots of people with no possibility to attend would be drawn if they just drew randomly from everyone - and lots of people who would and could have gone have never even had the chance. It would obviously be a bit more work but if fairness was the goal that would have been the way.

I'm not sure if the system works differently for Fellows and Members, but I (as a Member) received the email regarding the bookable-timed-slots for pre-opening viewings of the Aquarium at Whipsnade, and Animal Adventure at London.

That's the email I remember receiving. I am surprised it didn't go to all members and fellows! Places would just have been allocated first come first served surely

I didn't receive an email about it; I do get them about other things.

Fair enough, I can't find the email, but suspect it wasn't specifically about the aquarium previews! As I'm sure you know, I am regularly critical of ZSL, but I am still surprised this wasn't offered ro all members / fellows, it appears that you are the only one to state that you didn't receive it so far!!

I receive some emails to my work email (probably from being on member list) and fellows newsletter to my personal one.

The e-mail I received was specifically about the Fellows' Aquarium Preview.

The subject of the e-mail was "Preview the new ZSL Whipsnade Zoo Aquarium" and the first line of the contents read "Exclusive Aquarium Fellow preview". The e-mail specifically warned that places were limited.

I cannot explain why "Pacu" never received his invitation but my understanding was that all Fellows were invited and, because places were limited, tickets were issued on a first come first served basis.
