💚 A HUGE THANK YOU 💚
to all of our volunteers who made our Summer open day possible on Sunday!

Thank you to all of our supporters and members who attended. We hope the event was helpful and enjoyable.

We had a record turn out with over 170 tortoises having health checks, and many new faces!

If you attended on Sunday, please take a couple of minutes to fill in a quick survey to help us improve our events.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MICROCHIPS DONE ON SUNDAY:

If you had your tortoise chipped on Sunday, please keep an eye on emails (and check your junk!). We will register your tortoise's microchip and you will get an email from Microchip Central to register and set up an account, where you can check and update details.

Please be patient with us, we are all volunteers and have a record number of microchips to get through, so registration may take a couple of weeks to be sent to you.
