Early Start for BSAVA Congress
Only Men Aloud
Next year's BSAVA Congress will get going a day early.

As part of its hosting of the largest veterinary congress in the world, the British Small Animal Veterinary Association is adding an extra day to BSAVA Congress 2012.

Whilst dates have been advertised as 12th - 15th April 2012, they have now been altered to incorporate Wednesday 11th April 2012, when a free Welcome ceremony and a 'Taste of Britain' party will be held.

Anyone registered for Congress is encouraged to attend the World Congress on Wednesday, which will include the presentation of the prestigious WSAVA and FECAVA awards and the Presidents of all participating organisations - Andrew Ash, BSAVA, Jolle Kirpensteijn, WSAVA, Simon Orr, FECAVA - will invite you to join them in launching the largest ever veterinary conference in Europe.

The following party will aim to showcase the best of British entertainment, with samples of the best food and drink available from Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Musical entertainment will come from Only Men Aloud, a Welsh male choir voted the best choir in the UK on BBC1's hit Saturday night show 'Last Choir Standing.' The choir signed a multi-album record deal with Universal Music and they've gone to perform for Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace and The Royal Variety Show.

Tickets cost £20 for the whole evening, including food, and can be brought alongside your registration, or separately. For more information, click here.
