Cotswold Wildlife Park Meet

cosmix3 · 04-02-2010, 19:13

Right,

I have decided to give it ago and look at getting a meet together at Cotswold Wildlife Park, have some dates in mind that I want to chuck out there Saturday 20th February, they are not very far away but as I work shifts and I assume most would prefer a weekend, I don't get that many, if these dates are a no go I could look at some others in March (but not 100% sure on them).

The park opens at 1000, would suggest a meeting time of 1000-1030 in the area in front of the shop (by the car park, will get a map up).

Hers the map, Red Arrow marks the point

So if anyone is up for it let me know and I'll start the list, also let me know which date would suit best.

The list so far:

Cosmix3(me of course)
Briony (Maybe if work allows

And will bring CAKE

)
Cobra (looking to feed the Wolves)
Fabs (looking to avoid Cobra's feeding of the Wolves

)
STARRIDER (Penciled in

)(After the CAKE

)
Ajophotog Poss (Macro Wolves

)
Joe T Poss (bringing the Big Gun

)
n1kcy
suzanne
MartinM Poss, but not looking good (Looing to Battle with STARRIDER for the CAKE)
IanC_UK (Will he bring a Cannon to take on Joe T's Big Gun

)
Sybersteve
john starkey

The Cake List...... Briony to give the Nod

Cosmix3

Cobras Wolf Feeding List

Wander which will win Snake or Wolf.......

Fabs Marc, if he is not on guard......

Cobra · 04-02-2010, 19:27

Got a few bits happening in Feb, Stu
but will certainly try and work around them

Get the dates up

cosmix3 · 04-02-2010, 19:30 **Thread Starter**

Doh!

The dates would help, now in the OP, Thanks Chris

Briony · 04-02-2010, 19:32

I would love to come if you have the patience with me

and can teach me lots of things, providing I am not working.

As it stands, I am pretty sure that Saturday 20th should be OK

fabs · 04-02-2010, 19:35

Briony · 04-02-2010, 19:48

Dont normaly use one myself, but depends on you lens, I use a 100-400 mainly at 400 and find handholding OK, if you dont have one, I will probably throw mine in the boot anyway, so if you find you need one you could borrow it if not in use.

STARRIDER · 04-02-2010, 19:57

Keepin me eye on this..never been before..pencil me in please..

STARRIDER · 04-02-2010, 20:06

I'm after Briony's cake really..

Ajophotog · 04-02-2010, 20:09

Do you know what? I might just make the effort and pop along to this one as it is one I haven't been too before so you can put me down as a possible at the moment.
