I know its late in the morning but could you please pass a message to tiny and co. Ed has just been violently sick and so we are going to have to pull out of the cotswold wildlife park trip - i thought this was too good to be true - my main concern is his health. The other person who was possibly coming isnt able to due to work.
if you could pass this on i would be grateful and sorry for the late pull out

I think we are the first back, what can we say, what a great day, Looie you must be a travel guide, so well organised, maps, passes and almost a small book on the local area, Fantastic job well done.
I was hoping to post some pickys but at the first stop the penguin feeding Maria passed me the camera with it switched on lens protruding like a big think and Oops dropped it right on its nose
KnAcKeReD.
We left early as the little BeeSTi had had enough.
Thanks Ade and Ronnie & of course Elise for the directions home
Loved the move on the VW Golf BTW.
Nice to meet some people that we have not spoken to before, you all made a great day for our family
Thank
Darren Maria Mark & Kye
A couple of phone pickys
Way into park.
The Rhinos House and Garden
and a couple of the smaller Beast`s
And THE BeeSTi Boys
Love the Shirts Tiny

Absolutely top day out, well done Looie.
Just starting to trawl through the 400 pics I took.
Will try to post some later.
But for now, here's the group shot, not a bad turn out.

Well done Looie: 
We had one of our best days out so far this year, thanks for organising it for us all.
You made a good call for the weather, must have some top contacts to get that one sorted.
Nice to see some old friends again and meet some new, can’t wait for the next trip out.
Hope you like the above pictures.

Hi everyone - well what a cracking day.......... !!!
That weather was so good, couldn't have asked for a better day to go round the Park and it wasn't as busy at I thought it might be, so plenty of room for everyone to see the animals.
Hope everyone enjoyed themselves - from the comments I had, I guess so
Nice to meet you Scoobydaddy and Ade, and Wimpy and crew all - of which I haven't met before.
I didn't take as many pix as Brian, but still mamaged to take about 200 or so so I've got a bit of sorting out before I can put my ones up, but I will eventually!
Hope you got back in time to feed the birds Tiny.......... That hold up on the M40 didn't help!

Well Well Well
I am going to put my "Boss" hat on just for a moment
Looie you deserve a big pat on the back mate
IIRC this started from a post of yours when you asked "why there were not more family orienatated events"
Your post was meet with and I am including me in this
1. We do have several family events e.g. Thorpe Park Recently
2. Why don't you organise one
Most people would have accepted we do have family events and waited for the next one
But no you took option 2 and organised a proper family outing which despite the usual last minute drop outs seemed to be a resounding success
Even the Bucks and Oxon Crews tagged along !!
So a shinning example of what to do IF the crew isn't doing something you fancy doing ................give it a go
and a real positive point for you Looie I know your quite a shy person but everybody know you now !!!
For me this is what ESC does so well !!!

A job very well done Looie
Thank you Looie for organising this event, it was a pleasure meeting you as well as the BeeStis' and every other member we met for the first time. Not forgetting the regulars!!!!!!
Fantastic day out.
I seem to attract all sorts I'm afraid. Must be my face.
We did have a slow cruise back, HONEST. Ask Darren the BeeSti man himself. LOL
Some very nice pictures I'm sure the resident paparazzis, Tissy & Brian will have loads more.
Very nice comments Boss, I hope that will resolve any issues newbies are facing.
