Late Summer Ball at Clifton Zoo

On Friday night our Work Social Group organised a Late Summer Ball at the Bristol Zoo (22.09.2006).


Dress was formal, but food was more of a bbq style. Suprising considering the amount the Zoo charged to attend! Plus the fact that most of the animals were asleep and many enclosures were closed, including the Penguin cage, and the bird averies. We did see a Hippo, Lions, Some monkeys, and we were able to walk the grounds at dusk which was quite pleasant.

Once the Zoo Grounds were closed we headed inside for a bbq style dinner. After that we sat around chatting until the band started up. They were an interesting outfit, but need work on their song choices and vocals. The music was played well though.

Beers were the same cost as Spirits, so Whiskey all night was the order of the evening!

After catching up with a few work friends, and meeting some new people we headed home in a cab for a good nights rest.

Apologies on the quality of shots. Flashes at dusk on my camera don't seem to work to well...


Lions Sleeping Zzzz...

Another decent FM outing. Although I don't think I will be going back to the Zoo ever. I wasn't overly impressed with the layout and the quantity of animals.

Sounds like pretty dodgy zoo man, The Lions were probably cold!
