Is there a herp club in Cornwall or Devon

[soupdragon10]

Hi, now things have settled down after the festive season I was wondering if there is a herp club in Cornwall or Devon?

Also are there any shows held in this part of the world? I know most people consider us the back end of beyond so just wondered if there was anything about?

Not that I know of but me and another member from Cornwall are trying to get some meetings together after she came up with the idea but are stuck at the moment on a venue.

It might be a good idea to get one set up in Plymouth and one in Cornwall and alternate the weeks between the two so that both counties could have something, A social club or something would be best though or somewhere with electrics so that people can bring their clasisfied livestock with them to sell, I would offer to do it at my place if it was bigger but you can't swing a cat in here, ive tried.
