But when ?
After a bit of sledging yesterday it sounds like a zoo social should be arranged 
Nominate your favourite zoos here

"I'll go to a zoo social in the north.
I haven't been to the zoo in ages.

The new Islands area is coming along nicely. The macaques are enjoying their new habitat, the tropical house is great, orangs and tigers are moving in shortly

"Chester does seem to be popular 
I reckon we could combine it with a bit of  shopping
The park and ride leaves from there too
How about the first Saturday in December ? "
Can't do weekends here, only get respite for Monday or Thursday, we could do on social for weekenders and one for weekdayers perhaps. |

"I've never been to a zoo mum never took us as she didn't like the thought of animals being in cages she would only take us to sarafi parks 
Safari "
It's true a lot of zoos were cages, but the habitat provided nowadays is so much better, and the work that the zoos do, behind the scenes, in conservation is sometimes remarkable |

Chester Zoo is part of a major collaboration on conservation of wildlife. It is a fantastic zoo. I love it |

"Bristol Zoo is a personal favourite. But Longleat is well cool. And it has a maze. I do like an aquarium though; where is there a good one of those?
At Sealife virtually next door to Chester Zoo  "
But that's practically Wales.  |

"Whipsnade is just up the road and London zoo is pretty easy. Not sure Chester would be doable, unless booked a hotel. "
Make it a weekend of Christmas shopping
Chester's lovely at that time of year |

Fav zoo is South Lakes safari zoo
Most interactive zoo I've been to and the owner is ace a proper pragmatic conservationist that gets out in the wild and makes a difference. All profit from zoo goes to conservation and he started the Sumatran tiger trust my fave animal charity.
Just out of the way for most :/) |

"Twycross is the closest to me but unless you REALLY like monkeys it's pretty boring.
I LOVE Monkeys! "
The first one is really, really cute.
Then the next one is quite cute.
Then "oh, another monkey". By the time you see the four-hundredth monkey, trust me, you'll be agreeing with Mr Who!
Also, robot dinosaurs? 
Bristol Zoo used to be good, we used to be members, but I suspect it's changed a bit now.

"No humping by the hippos, mounting near the mountain goats, poking by the porcupines or groping by the giraffes
Can I orgasm near the opossums?"
No! No cumming by the cuttlefish nor squirting by the squirrels and certainly no pumping by the pumas or banging by the badgers |

Yorkshire Wildlife Park is excellent, they rescue loads of Animals from other Zoos, they have bags of space and they are part of a breeding programme to reintroduce Amur Tigers and Leopards back into the range, they have both had cubs recently. |

Sadly there are no hippos, mountain goats,cuttlefish, pumas or badgers
But there are rutting rhinos, panting painted dogs, lecherous lions, tribbing tigers, cwtching cheetahs and many more |

"Hi fabbers, I'm sorry to say, but I'm going to have to back out of this social
Some may recall that a few weeks ago I was in Birmingham awaiting my daughter's audition for the Royal Ballet, well she's had a call-back and it's on Sat Dec 5th, the same day as the social 
So I'm a very proud Dad, but it means I can't meet you lovely people
If anyone wants to take on the reigns of this, I'll support them all the way, with my local knowledge and zoo membership "
Sod the zoo!! That's amazing news!! (yes I used the word amazing but in this instance!) proud dad alert!! |

Thanks guys ^ ^^
It's not every day that you get to audition like this, so of course it's my top priority
But am also very conscious of letting people down
Perhaps we could reschedule for the new year ? |

Super CONGRATS!!!! Awesome news!
I had just been persuading Marc to go. Maybe I can work on him for Miss I's social instead, now.
Put it aside for now and things can be rescheduled. Great news!
