I can certainly meet you for coffee in the Holiday Inn - can walk there!

I could possibly push the date out to 12th but am travelling back early the next morning and will probably need that day to pack the car and clean the flat sad.

Yes, down visiting family.

The Holiday Inn right beside the zoo?

Katek Wed 26-Aug-15 15:30:35

I'm at Holiday Inn for night of 12th-13th so wouldn't make Zoo but could maybe manage coffee if anyone is around?

Oh darn it; have got loads of stuff on that list but have limited space in the car when we travel up. Next time, perhaps.

The zoo are always on the look-out for materials for the enrichment of the animal's lives. If you are joining us on this visit any of the things in this list that you can bring with you wouild be welcome. www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/support-us/animal-gifts/

Most of this is junk or discarded stuff that is lying around the house (think pre-school playgroup activities) However, there is also an Amazon wishlist if you feel like spending money . . .

Tegan and I are planning to visit Edinburgh Zoo some time during the week starting 7th September. Marelli might be there. anyone else interested? We'd need to dedicate a day to it, about 11 am - 4.30pm. There is a cafe, and various ice-cream and crisp kiosks. Looks like no panda babies this year again, but there are some baby meercats www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/news/2015/08/more-mini-meerkats-at-rzss-edinburgh-zoo/
