SE potners WHF meet

I will call WHF tomorrow and get this booked as I have ten deposits, good excuse for a gratuitous post of a lion who needs to see the dentist

I have paid the deposit for Sunday. I have spoken to them about having two smaller groups if we get sufficient numbers but due to two other groups booking the same day that is not possible. There is an absolute maximum of 15 and that includes any non toggers. To have two groups we would need ten toggers in each which I think would be a bit of a stretch and would have to move the day to Saturday when they only have one other group booked in. He did say it might be better to go to the Saturday because on the Sunday one of the groups is a car club and they can be quite large ( 40 ) however they are non photographers but did say they would be able to cater for us if we went ahead with the Sunday. If we were looking at moving to the Saturday it would mean some people taking time off work.

We have fifteen people who said they definitely want to come with the possibility of Rich's friend. I have included my wife in the 15 but she will drop out in favour of a photographer.

I need the deposits off everyone ASAP so I know where we stand with numbers.

Secondly unless you want me to change it I will keep it to the Sunday, however if people are thinking of changing it I need to know ASAP as they are beginning to get booked up.

Im ok with either day

That was quick thanks

either day works for me, if you can let me know when the day is for certain that would be great!

I cant do the Saturday. Sunday only for me.

Weekends - either day should be fine. As long as it is on the calendar well in advance to avoid any sort of double booking.

If the Sunday is going to be "crowded" surely we do not want to be feeling confined, afteral we are paying for better access and close proximity to the animals!

there were 3 groups last time me and adrian went, never saw them for the entire day - they just start at different enclosures.

Ah! well that is good if they allow enough time per group per enclosure to avoid clashes/queueing/reduc​ed time et al. Having never been there I have no idea of how they would manage it???

Hi. I am a newbie here and would be delighted to join a waitlist in case one of the 15 spaces comes free.

Thanks. This sounds like a really good event.

I can do either day, my mate (and non tog) have both said they will sit out of this one, I'm sure they will be dissapointed when we share the images.

I think it would make sense to keep it to the Sunday

Sorry to cause confusion but I just wanted to make you aware of all the facts.

As Rob said when we went there were a couple of other groups and they did not get in our way. If we changed to the Saturday there is no guarantee another large group would not book the same day. You never know the car club might be some vintage or Ferari and we end up taking pictures of their cars.

Rich thanks for the update

Glynnr I will definitely bear you in mind once I can finally get a deposit off everyone, I can't remember if you have found it but we are all from the SE and congregate on this thread

Thanks I have found it and the competition thread too.

I am based in Felbridge right on the Surrey / Sussex border, not more than a couple of miles from the British Wildlife Centre. I look forward to learning and meeting you all.
