Meetings
Each year we hold our Autumn meeting and AGM on the Saturday which falls closest to the 27th of October (the birthday of A. D. Bartlett). As well as the business of the AGM we discuss items that have been collected during the year or there are talks by various members or guests. A meeting is held each spring at a zoological garden, usually one with some historical interest. These meetings sometimes include member talks or a guided tour around the collection or behind-the-scenes tours. Informal meetings are also held. These meetings are often arranged between members of the society and provide an opportunity for members to meet up and enjoy a day at a zoo together. 2013 MEETINGS
