XLVets Glasgow Meeting with BCVA November 2007

The six-monthly XLVets Meeting was held in Glasgow on 21st November to coincide with BCVA. The meeting was very well attended, with our highest turnout so far. We used the familiar format of a business meeting in the moring with an opportunity for Andrew, Dewi and The Board to update members on progress over the past 6 months and to highlight upcoming events and initiatives. There were also opportunities for open discussion on a variety of topics which generated some lively and enthusiastic debate.

In the afternoon, there was an opportunity for two of the meeting's sponsors - Schering Plough and NVS - to present to the XLVet group some initiatives; including leptospirosis vaccination initiatives and net net pricing software (with a practice based demonstration by Richard Craw) respectively.


Then following a very strenuous teambuilding event in Exeter in the summer, the more genteel sport of curling was chosen as the teambuilding event. The XLVet members and our meeting sponsors attended Braehead Ice rink, where after 40 minutes of instruction with "The Stanes" an extremely competitive "round robin" competition ensued - see images below.
