Leicester Reptile Meet on Tour!

[Jeffers3]

Hiya

The next reptile meet with reptiles will be a departure from the norm, as the Leicester meet is going on tour! The LOCATION will be the upstairs function room of The Higham Ferrers Town Band Club Home - Higham Band Club Official Website!. It will be held on Saturday 3rd March 2012 starting at 7.30pm (The website shows the large function room and directions are via the "Contact" tab.

It will be a great chance for Leicester regulars and Northants locals to meet like-minded people and some lovely reptiles, so please show your support by coming along. If successful, the meeting could become a regular supplementary event.

Here are the ground rules of the meet in order for the night to run smoothly.

It will be shown who is bringing what in a list on this thread that we will update as often as we can. It has been decided that this meet will be for Pythons, Colubrids and miscellaneous species as snakes go but of course non-snake species are most welcome.

Anybody wishing to bring a reptile, please PM April Taylor or Jeff Newman (Jeffers3) with the details so that we can book you in. This is terribly important for planning the evening properly.

You will not be able to just turn up with your reptile, you must have a PM from April or Jeff to say you have been booked in. If we cannot get you booked into this meet you will be put at the top of the list for the following month.

Some of you may think that these rules are excessive and we are sorry if you feel that way, but you will not be able to bring reptiles to the meet if you are not prepared to follow these rules which are put in place for the safety of YOUR reptiles!!

• The “Theme” of the night will be announced in advance. If the night features Pythons then Boas will not be allowed, and vice versa.

• You must have owned the reptile for a minimum of six months to ensure that quarantine has been observed.

• Reptiles that are ill/have been ill within the last six months will not be welcome.

• If ANY reptile within your collection has had mites within the last six months, please do not ask to bring ANY of your collection (whether they are known to have had mites or not) to the meeting as they will not be welcome.

• You are solely responsible for your reptile and all of its needs during the night, so please remember to bring your own secure container, heating equipment, hand gel and anything else you feel you will need.

• Anybody turning up with an unannounced reptile will be asked to leave.

Again we are sorry if you think these rules are harsh but we are thinking purely of the wellbeing of all of our reptiles.



See you there
