A fantasitc meeting Wendy,
Mark Rowlands giving a brilliant talk, in laymans english:0) If anyone has a chance to go to one of his talks, its really worth while. We have had several talks by Mark, on different subjects within chelonia. And all have been excellent. I have learnt so many new things, even after keeping tortoises for thirty years plus. |
It was a great meeting, always good to hear Mark speak. And as Sandy says, always something new to learn. I didn't know tortoises can get malaria!
Thank you Wendy, Mark, and all the helpers. Looking forward to next year. Lorna |
It was good to see so many people enjoying such a brilliant presentation. :smile:
Mark's talks never fail to 'wow' so many and the 'inside look' of a life as a vet caring for these wonderful animals is truly amazing. Every time Mark delivers a presentation I feel as if I am studying veterinary care … but so well put that all of us understand what the talk is about. We all sat ‘glued’ for over two hours watching video footage of surgical and diagnostic procedures and after cake, hot mince pies and double cream, and a drink, Mark was lost in a crowd of people all asking advice about their well loved tortoise(s). “Thank you” to all who helped run the meeting and a big “Thank You” to Mark for another terrific presentation. :D:D |
I really wanted to come to this one but unfortunately I had to go and see my poorly nan. :-(
Sounds like it was a fantastic talk :D See you next year at the next ones :D xx |
