AGM Postponement

24/03/2020 in RZSS

Our Annual General Meeting due to be held in May has been postponed as a precautionary measure due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This is in line with the current public health advice to avoid unnecessary travel and social contact. We are sure you will understand this was the best course of action in these very difficult times. Invitations will be sent to members when we are able to arrange a new date.

You may be aware that Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park are closed to members and visitors. Our animals will of course receive all the care they need from our amazing teams while our parks remain closed.

As you are unable to visit – and as a thank you for your continued support – we will extend your membership automatically by one month free of charge. Please email membership@rzss.org.uk if you are a member and do not wish to receive this extra month.

We look forward to welcoming you back soon! In the meantime, please stay safe.

 

Frequently asked questions 

How long will you be closed for? 

We are closed until further notice and will be closely following government and public health advice. When it is safe to welcome you all back, we will be sure to let you know! 

You can sign up for our email newsletters and follow us on social media to stay up to date with our latest news, including any animal births, and our many conservation projects here in Scotland and around the world. 

Can I get a refund for my pre-booked tickets? 

We will be in touch with everyone who has pre-booked tickets. Please check your inbox before contacting the team who will be happy to reschedule your visit for when we are open again.

Our members make it possible for us to continue safeguarding threatened species around the world and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
