then i'm hiding behind you.. and you can stroke my hair while i rock back and forth in a corner somewhere after seeing the penguins... I had a terrible experience with them at a rave on Phillip Island in Melbourne a while back, one little f*cker bit my nose.... me sketched out, trying to help a friend who was even more sketched out (passed out in fact), leaning over her and a penguin comes out of his hidey hole and snaps at my nose... the scar has only just fully gone...

other than that we love the zoo and the big cats getting fed... goody, goody I want to go!!
LadyK

*smp*
I may come although that place never ceases to depress me (as much as I love squealing in delight at all the cute animals)

free them all....especially the penguins!!!

you're right Mich, they do have a kind of evil glint in their eyes don't they laugh.gif
michr
yes, yes they do!!! evil = penguins. they represent all that is wrong with this world
*smp*
I've heard penguins seek out evil and try to peck its eyes out...... Mich.....????

laugh.gif

I think they are cute so you can hide behind me if you like.....the otters, meercats and tamarins are my favourites though...and if I get even half a chance to stuff one or all of them up my jumper and take them home I'm doing it!!!!

By a large demand I bring to you anthems at the zoo! biggrin.gif

As suggested in a previous thread we have come to agree with the following details:

Date : Sunday, May 7th

Time: Gates are open from 9.30am - 5pm

I have contacted the Zoo regards to us getting a discount because we are a large group they have offered us this: biggrin.gif

Our group rates are as follows:

Adults $13
Children $ 9
Concession $12

A Group consists of ten or more paying persons. Under four years of age
are free.

However for us to recieve these prices we must walk through the gate as a group of 10 or more at the one time or they have given us the option of pre purchasing our tickets. Which means that i'd be willing to collect all the money and pre purchase the tickets for everyone.


So come along with us for a fun day for young and old!!! This being a great opportunity for all of us to socialise and get to know everyone in a non loud music atmosphere. wub.gif

If you have any questions feel free to ask me or maybe the web site will be able to help you out : www.adelaidezoo.com.au

Hope to see you all there!!

What would everyone be keen to do regarding the purchase of tickets :

set a time for us to meet at the gates on North Tce

OR

would you like me to pre purchase the tickets (this means ill have to collect the money and purchase the tickets a week before the day so i can distribute the ticket to all of you by 5th May)

I think what Mich said above is right re collecting money etc....we can all just meet out the front, and go in as a group...that should be easy enough....

There must be. I'm going with my tutorial group from Uni .. there's only 10-15 of us, and it's costing everyone $6 each for a 40 minute behind-the-scenes tour, then we can hang around as long as we like after that.

$6!! that's pretty decent.. i'm sure we can organise that many people!

Really it's just a matter of finding out what kind of discount the zoo offers then collecting the money from ppl before making the booking!

It doesn't sound to difficult huh! lol tongue.gif

QUOTE(AnGeL^EyEs @ Mar 24 2006, 05:19 PM)
[I have contacted the Zoo regards to us getting a discount because we are a large group they have offered us this: biggrin.gif

Our group rates are as follows:

Adults        $13
Children        $ 9
Concession        $12

A Group consists of ten or more paying persons. Under four years of age
are free.

However for us to recieve these prices we must walk through the gate as a group of 10 or more at the one time or they have given us the option of pre purchasing our tickets. Which means that i'd be willing to collect all the money and pre purchase the tickets for everyone.

These are previous details about group booking prices from earlier this year- im assuming they would still be current wink.gif
KandiRaver
Good work!! tongue.gif

Now all we need first up are some possible dates! How does October sound? At least then the rain should be over and we should be able to guarantee a pleasant day!

Jutsin
I went to the Zoo today for one of my Uni tutorials, we got to do some behind the scenes feeding tour which was pretty wild - and it was only $6 entry, plus we got a free drink!!!!!11

Consequently, I won't be going to the anthems Zoo outing; seen one Zoo - seen 'em all, pretty much.

Hope you all enjoy it though biggrin.gif

I'm gonna have to say no to this outing. Mum's birthday is happening instead sad.gif

Mettina and I are still keen as mustard.. We can meet up and give money whenever you like..

Well.. i've heard that em has been really busy lately, so the zoo outing hasn't been cancelled, it's just that there really isn't anyone able to organise it anymore. (bear with me, i'm still piecing parts of last nights converstaions and memories together).

At the moment, Ben, Hayley and I are still going, but we will just be paying on the door.

If anyone else is still interested in going that would be great! The more the merrier.. if anyone has any idea's about what time would be best then please post them here. I hadn't really thought about it as such, but i was thinking about midmoring/afternoon say 11.30am - 12.00 (noon).

it'll be perfect weather during the day, and most of the animals (i assume) will be quite active. besides, if we go later in the afternoon we risk what happened to me last time... having some of the special areas closing early (like the reptiles mad.gif).
AnGeL^EyEs
the earlier the better because there is a fair bit of lineup to get in

Sorry Celeste, I remember telling you that I'd been busy which is why I hadn't been to collect your ticket money yet, but I don't recall saying that I wasn't able to organise it anymore. Not sure where you got that one from hun!

But thats cool with me... if you'd like to take over the organisation, no problems here smile.gif

lol.. no way.. i'm terrible at organisation! tongue.gif

but if finances allow (it turned out to be a bit of an expensive weekend) Ben and I will still be going. So as far as we are concerned, there is no need for you to collect money from us ok hon. smile.gif
