Default Isle of wight reptile/herp group

Anyone interested in this?...I was thinking about it and setting up a website so you can all have your own section and keep it updated, etc
organise meetups on the island maybe?
if we can get enough people together, maybe we could convince livefoodsbypost to have like an open evening, like the southampton people get a fancy meetup...

just a thought
pass this on btw!

Have you spoken to neil or lou about it?

Another idea is alternate hosting at our own homes, then we all get to meet each others reps etc and don't need to worry about a venue.

But yeah...if you sort something, I know a few people that will come along.

Theres a whole load of different community centres that only charge £8 or something an hour. Somewhere communal that doesnt mind animals coming in. How about one of the prison clubs?
