Statement from Nottingham Central Library, regarding Electronic Snail Racing demo’s with Tim’s ‘world first’ electronic snail racing board:

'Following concerns raised regarding the planned Electronic Snail Racing Board demonstrations at Nottingham Central Library, we have taken the decision to cancel the event with immediate effect.

While the demonstrations were intended as a light-hearted and educational activity, we recognise that some members of the community have expressed genuine concerns about the welfare of the snails involved. Nottingham Central Library takes all feedback seriously and would never knowingly host an activity that could cause distress, either to animals or to our visitors.

We apologise to anyone who may have been disappointed by this decision, and equally to anyone who found the proposed activity upsetting. Our aim is always to provide events that are welcoming, inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.

We thank the public for their understanding and look forward to continuing to offer a wide range of creative, educational and family-friendly activities at Nottingham Central Library.'
