Free Admission to South Lakes Wild Animal Park this weekend --- Help for Haiti
South Lakes Wild Animal Park overwhelmed by the reports coming from Haiti of the damage, destruction and loss of life are offering free admission this Saturday and Sunday for anyone who will donate £2 at the entrance to the Emergency Earthquake Appeal.
Nobody can fail to be moved by the pictures on the news at the weekend of hundreds of people desperate for food, water, medical supplies, emergency shelter; and with the situation, in the poorest country in the western hemisphere, likely to only get worse with potentially more than 2 million needing desperate help, staffs were compelled to do something.
Park owner David Gill agreed so any adult, child, oap who donates £2 at the entrance to the disaster will get free admission to the park on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th January.
NEW STARS TO BE REVEALED: also on show for the very first time since arriving in the park just before Christmas are our latest arrivals Southern Tamandua. Tamandua or “Anteaters” are from South America and although still in quarantine within the park will be moved to the primate house ready for the weekend where visitors will get the very first glimpse of these amazing and very special arrivals.
Keepers have also been busy putting a plan of events together for the weekend and here’s what’s in store:
11.30 Hand feed giraffes
12.30-1.30 Walk through aviary will be open every day where visitors can meet our new Macaws and birds
2.30 Tiger feeding
3.00 Hand feed penguins
3.20 Lion feeding
3.45 Hand feed giraffes
All day Hand feed kangaroos, wallabies and Emus
What else to see – winter babies:
The park has some recent additions for visitors to meet including a Siamang baby and Squirrel monkey babies down in the primate house, look out for the Capuchin baby in the South American Bear enclosure, and perhaps the first baby to try and spot as you come through the gates (maybe hanging off mum) will be the Mandrill baby.
Alongside visitors favourites including the 2 Rhino calves Nyala and Zimba; Bears, Hippos and Caribbean Flamingos – from the island of Haiti.
ICE RINK OPEN: get wrapped up and enjoy a spin on the ice the rink will be open every day (additional charge)

Mike from NPD involved with Cockermouth Floods
Mike Davis from NPD/daysoutinfo.co.uk is the Training Officer for Bay Search and Rescue who where called to assist in the Cockermouth floods rescue effort.
As part of Bay Search and Rescue's new role assisting Cumbria Fire and Rescue, the teams Hagglund ATERV (all terrain emergency response vehicle) and Landrover Ambulance was escorted under blue lights to Cockermouth on Friday afternoon where the 8 strong BSAR crew worked alongside teams from all over the UK to help evacuate residents, and provide assistance to those wishing to remain in their houses. Initially in the raging fast moving floods, powerful boats were used. Subsequently as the water levels dropped and the amount of debris increased in and below the water, boats are less useful,but vehicles still cannot be used, so the Hagglund ATERV capable of carrying 18 people in warm, dry and relative comfort was a useful asset. The crews worked from arrival Friday afternoon through to late Saturday, catching bits of sleep in the vehicles in between tasks. The Hagglund was the last vehicle operating in the towns flooded Main Street at 1.30am Friday night, and the first vehicle back in at first light mapping the flood depth and perimeters.
Subsequently both our vehicles were tasked to the 'Gote' area on the far side of the river which had been completely cut off apart from by rescue boat since the start of the floods. The Hagglund again was the first vehicle into the area and spent the rest of the day evacuating residents, including a medical emergency case by stretcher, and ferrying in bridge surveyors and engineers. It also recovered dozens of computers holding vital medical records for a large proportion of Cockermouth residents from the flooded medical centre. The devastation was clear to see with cars thrown everwhere and roads and walls ripped apart by the force of the water. Koi carp, obviously from garden ponds were found by the team swimming in remaining flood water on the estate. As the flood levels dropped and other rescue teams could gain careful access on foot, the BSAR team were stood down and returned to base early Saturday evening after a busy three days.
