The event was an enjoyable one but was marred by two serious incidents which have led to the Chester Zoo authorities refusing permission for future events. The first involved setting light to a tree and, though the fire had been put out, two fire engines were called out, and the second involved girls climbing into a pig pen and playing with the pigs.
In view of the serious consequences I must remind parents and group leaders that they are responsible for the behaviour of the juniors in their charge attending Deeside events and must ensure that their behaviour is acceptable.
I should like thank all those Deesiders who helped at the event, particularly as this event was aimed at the disabled and many disabled competitors tooks part. From an orienteering point of view it was a very successful event and it is a great pity it was the last at the Zoo.
