I'm in Livingston but I'd be up for it! Used to go to SEAS at Deans High School but would be good to meet other RFUK members & their animals. And possible new purchases! Send me a PM guys & gals!

Hi Dracco just sent you a pm hun and i agree we should all have a wee meet up but not necesserally with reps though i dont fancy that my babies get cold lol

but a good drink and a night out would be good

the whole idea of the meet is a small scale REPTILE show etc not a piss up, thats cool if certain members wanna just meet for that and nothing else but wer tokin a show to see each others reps and for certain members to bring along stuff to sell etc just a mini doncaster

If you want a meet where people bring along stuff to sell then you will need to inform the council and get permission first.

Not wanting to be a spoil-sport, but I'd hate to see it all go bad!

if this is about me all i meant was :

everyone at the start of this thread were only talking about a meet up to begin with hun i think its maybe best that we all meet up get to know each other ect

rather than put money together for a hall there is not enough of us to even consider that yet well not on here(in my opinion). its ok for you guys to sell stuff you have a website lol

if we we are all wanting a reptile show in scotland we would need to look into that and do it the proper way they dont just through doncaster together lol they had to get permission ect for that. plus there would not be much point as there is not alot of scottish breeders on here either to make it worthwhile. where as we could all meet up somewhere central for everyone get to know each other and take things from there then start planning for something

Totally agree with both toyah and buddy here...
you cant have an informal mini-dncaster without certain criteria being met with the council...


a meet up is not the same as a place to sell animals..

council applications need to be made to be kept within the law.. and ANY size meeting for the sale of reptiles has to have proper procedure and permission dealt with ... something that doesnt take a week or so...

If its going to be done above the law and within council guidelines it wont be informal as certificate of permission needs to be granted...

I am sure those involved want it to be kept legal and correct as if it went wrong it would be another black mark against the reptile community something we really dont need..

good luck if you do go ahead with it though... and keep all the scottish people up to date as im sure wed love a reptile show up here if we could have one done properly....

maybe have an informal normal meet up where people can chat and get to know one another instead of going headlong into a sales excercise first
