Lady Kelly
Senior Guinea Pig
you mean you're not actually a Lady? I thought there'd be a tiara at least!
I think you can buy the title from places like buyagift but I reckon the tiara is sold separately

I'm just looking forward to how badly a Zoom call garbles my accent.![]()
Would love to join this, hopefully my social anxiety doesn’t bungle it for mex
Will most definitely give it a try, I feel very comfortable on this forum so I think I’ll be okWith zoom you can always leave whenever you want. But it is worth a try. We are aiming to keep the numbers for every zoom meet limited. We are just a bunch of piggy mad very ordinary people that are not any less friendly in person than in the forum.

I would love to join this but then I am not a morning person. Lol. Anyway it will be a great way to meet the members her, although I don't want to commit whether I'll be available at that time.
Don’t worry if you’re not yet au fait with Zoom.
A year ago I thought Zoom was an ice lolly from my childhood and what my piggies do.
If its any consolation I have a relatively strong Somerset/Dorset accent & sound like a proper farmers daughter...Can't be any worse than my Swiss-German one!

I'm quite shy & reserved with groups of people I don't know, but I've been to quite a few meets-everyone is so friendly, welcoming & definitely piggy mad (a few of us are actually quite bonkers(in a good wayWith zoom you can always leave whenever you want.

I think it's planned for the evening in the UK...I would love to join this but then I am not a morning person. Lol. Anyway it will be a great way to meet the members her, although I don't want to commit whether I'll be available at that time.
I'm impressed HeatherDon’t worry if you’re not yet au fait with Zoom.

Now I’m competent enough to cope with a meet.
It should be fun to meet with a small group just to chat.
One of the advantages of Zoom is that the only travelling required is from the kitchen to get your beverage of choice to the place you will Zoom in from.
We can meet those members who couldn’t get to real life meets and if we get the time right then those members who are not UK based can join too.
Hi! That's an excellent idea! I would love it! I'm from Spain and if possible I would like to contribute with my experience (i´m a veterinary nurse), if not, I will attend it as well!
Okay, maybe I didn't explain myself correctly. As vet nurse I'm totally against about health advise or vet online checks that could end in a neglected situation where a guinea pig needed for an appointment doesn't recieve a proper care for any health issue. When I refered my experience I was offering myself to give care advice and as a guinea pig owner also about behaviour and interaction, as you perfectly explain. Sorry for give an incorrect view of myself and If I can help in anyway I will be more than pleased.We are not planning to cover any medical stuff because none of us is a qualified nurse or vet and none of us wants to be put into the untenable situation of being used for an online examination in lieu of a necessary vet visit. Any themed webinars will be mostly about care aspects - the things you cannot necessarily show in a guide or cover all in a video - and learning more about behaviour and interaction with guinea pigs with every member being able to ask questions or share their own relevant experiences.
It won't be a morningwhen we have set a date etc we will open it up for people to register if they are available. If it's popular we may well end up doing them regularly

Thank you for clarifying that. We have the same stance as you. If there is enough interest in themed meetings for a more in-depth view at aspects of ownership, then we will consider your offer.
It's a great idea! For me there would be no problem in explaining that. I have participate in MANY piggie surgeries of all kind.Perhaps some members would be interested to learn what exactly happens during an operation preparation, how the guinea pig is monitored during the operation and the post-op recovery phase at the vets' and then what can be done once the piggy comes home?
I'm with you on that one David
Might be PM'ing you to show me the same as your hubby... I'm not very techno/social media minded either! Lol!
I always want to write down our orders with pen & paper at proper meets, I don't understand all this modern jiggery-pokery! Aka 'the Weatherspoons resemble
Hence why l Could,nt order with the app☺
I do miss our proper meets, but this is a lovely idea as a safe work-around
Thank you to all involvedx
It will be morning for me! But then that’s my own fault for moving to Australia
But I would LOVE to join in!
If you had it at 9pm.. it would be 8am (!) for me. That’s if the first meet is before the clocks change.. when ever that is.
But of course that’s quite late for you guys so I understand if I can’t attend![]()
Yes I’m with you and will wait til we’re allowed at the pub againI'm afraid I'll be giving this a miss. I struggle with zoom anyway and don't want my face on show lol. I always need a drink to calm my nerves at the proper meets lol. It's a really lovely idea though. Hopefully we can have a meet in person in the latter half of the year. I do miss them.
