Many thanks from erac

On behalf of the Essex Reptiles & Amphibians Club I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Chris Newman, Chairman of the Federation of British Herpetologists, for getting our event today back on track. Without him, it would not have happened!

Many of you have offered donations to FBH funds to assist the fight against animal rights extremists. These will be gratefully accepted. You can make cheques payable to the Federation of British Herpetologists and send them to my home address which you can find on the ERAC website – www.essexreptiles.com. I will then forward these on to the FBH treasurer, Colin Clark (no relation!).

Going forward you can assist further by joining the nearest reptile club/society to where you live, and if they are not already affiliated to the FBH, convince them they must be - it is only by pulling together that these extremists can be beaten once and for all!

I would also like to thank the Clubs and Exhibitors who have supported ERAC over the past week or so and the event today – your support and co-operation was greatly appreciated!

Finally, many thanks to every visitor attending today and showing their support. We had a fantastic turn out (a record!) and hope everyone had a good day.

Connie, on behalf of

Peter Clark
Chairman
Essex Reptiles & Amphibians Club

I after a very long hard thought I went there too even if I was not feeling so good but it was a very long way to go there from London as there were engineering works and the trains were replaced by buses but it was worth it on the end and I had a great day.

So well done to everyone who made this even happen I really loved it.

Bought a couple of cool new animals too - a normal royal and a chile rose - really pleased with them.
