OTHER INFORMATION
Under Information from Edinburgh Zoo
I hope you are doing well. I wanted to follow up to see if there was any interest in attending one of our very special
Memory Week socials here at Edinburgh Zoo. We have made a slight change to our schedule and will now only be
hosting two, one on Sunday June 14 th and the other on Wednesday June 17 th . If we find more people are interested,
we can increase the attendee capacity.
If you have any questions about attending the zoo, please do get in touch. This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn
more about our long, fascinating history in Edinburgh, as well as make some new memories of your own.
Thank you and we hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Best wishes,
Jaima

If you are interested in attending please contact RZSS direct.
As an update I attach below our programme of talks for our next session, and in fact we are halfway between the end of our 2025-26 and the start of our 2026-27.
Please add these dates to your diary, and we look forward to meeting up again.
There is some interest from neighbouring Probus Clubs to network more effectively and swap speakers .
Anyway, I hope you are enjoying the summer days; I have been busy assessing several local parks as well as arranging my visits to community gardening projects.
Kind Regards
