Looks superb that accommodation - and looks great fun
A few years ago my Wife and I were ‘Zookeepers for a day’ at Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire - brilliant day we had, with highlights being hand feeding Penguins, feeding a Jaguar, feeding the Gibbons (who were hilarious), getting inside the Lemur enclosure to feed them with some sitting on your head (!!) and my Wife holding the snakes for an expert to deliver a talk to the audience about snakes (no way was I doing that, I hate snakes !!)
I recommend it as a gift for animal lovers - it lasted the whole day, and you get up really close with some of the animals (obviously not stuff like Jaguars - we fed him through a hatch)
There is also a Speedway museum there, which is worth a look
I know they’ve been a couple of posts on Twitter but I’d be grateful if everyone could refrain from posting until something confirming is said by his family or the club, ta.
AFKA, please can you close this again for the time being as the message you received was for the eyes of those contacted only at this time. My fault for not making this clear.

Hope many more special memories are made. Look forward to reading them.
Hope Ben is well enough to watch his favourite team host the Wombles at the weekend, and hopefully cheer them on to a win!
Thoughts tonight with @Garry_Jay1964 and his friends and family
Thoughts are with all his family and friends tonight
RIP Ben
Thanks, Jean
