Picking one place thats easy for all these too meet up is ridiculous. So why not have a SHS but with individual groups in each large city/area? Then perhaps 1/2 major meet ups every year such as a show or something. Only an idea. Fingers crossed ill be living in Cupar all the time come June and will be wanting a club too attend.

Of course you're right, there is no place that will ever suit everyone.

Anyone outside of the greater glasgow area is more than welcome to start up there own branch of the SHS so we can all work together.

The whole idea is to bring everyone together.

Our website should be going live this week and will have details on how you can become affiliated. Anyone in Edinburgh or anywhere else feel free to pm me if you're seriously thinking about setting up you're own club/branch.

Not tryin to put a downer on this... us scots are always moaning about wanting something like this, I am well up for it if it kinda finds an easier to access place.

The venue is a 5 minute walk from Glasgow Central railway station, 10 minutes from Queen Street railway station, Buchanan Street underground and 15 minutes from Buchanan Street bus station. There are 7 car parks within 600 yards, and Glasgow has 4 different motorways connecting to it from all directions, it's very accessible.

Just to confirm under 18's will be allowed in the venue as it is a private function. Anyone under 16 will have to be accompanied by an adult.

Pivo Pivo is a city centre pub and restraunt.. I would imagine the manager may have a thing or two to say about that.

secondly even if it werent taking reps to meetings where other reps are means there is a potential risk of cross contaminating...

just a thought

No no no wasn't planning on it. Just got excited at the idea of it and how cool it would be to see 'Scotlands reptiles' but of course I didn't think that one through did I? Aprreciate the advice though.
