It was an overcast and miserable day when I approached the great community hall of Woolsery. The programme looked exciting and I was overcome with great excitement at hearing the likes of such luminaries in the world of Forteana as Richard Freeman, Ronan Coghlan and especially Jonathan Downes. The day started with a short introduction to cryptozoology by Mr Downes and Mr Freeman. Rather than answer the question themselves, they elected to find an answer from the audience – and got the right one - everyone was pleased! This was followed by an outstanding talk by young 'zoologist' Max Blake on species that are known from one specimen. He went through worm-amphibians, sea hedgehogs, birds, wallabies and peccaries. The technical content was extensive and I took many notes.
Loads of other stuff happened. I had a great time. The bar was excellent. I fell over.
