BSAVA Congress Is Invaded By The Orange Brigade

The BSAVA/WSAVA Congress was invaded by curious orange beings, but there was no cause for alarm. The Vet Charity Challenge logo was brought to life to promote the event and to encourage vets to make up a team of four to take part on 15th September 2012. Teams of four will participate in the one-day event that is open to all levels of fitness and involves a series of physical tasks and puzzle-solving challenges. The teams can choose their own routes and take part in walking / running, cycling and kayaking stages and can make it as easy or hard as they like. The charities benefitting from the 2012 event will be vets’ favourites: Hounds for Heroes; SPANA, and Pet Blood Bank. The charity is expecting to raise in excess of £20,000, and urge the profession and their industry colleagues to get together to have some fun, and raise some serious money at the same time. It’s a great PR opportunity for practices and an opportunity for team-building whatever their business. The venue is the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester and all details may be found on www.vetcharitychallenge.co.uk or by phoning 01727 859259. The VCC will provide training guidelines and sponsorship forms. Places are limited so early booking is advisable. To be sure of a place, practices and business are urged to book their team of four by the deadline of Friday 29th June 2012. The Vet Charity Challenge is sponsored by BCF Technology, Kruuse UK Ltd and Vets2.net and is supported by the VPMA, Mojo Consultancy and JCA Media Group.
