Awakening to Animals upcoming event
One-of-a-kind conference looks at animal abilities

The annual Awakening to Animals conference is to be held in June to raise awareness of scientific and spiritual discoveries about animal abilities.

Taking place at Chesford Grange Hotel, Spa and Conference Centre in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, the event will bring together a unique mix of global expert speakers.

Dubbed the only international conference of its kind, attendees will examine how the growing body of evidence on the special abilities of animals can be used to improve the earth and its inhabitants.

The conference, which will be held on June 22 and 23, 2013, will have two themes; equality for all life and bridging new science and animal spirituality.

Founders Elaine Downs, Julie Lines, Sue Reid and David William Bell aim to create a global task force of volunteers off the back of the event.

These volunteers will use their skills and expertise to help charities working to save and support endangered species and abused animals worldwide.

"We at Awakening to Animals want to help raise the consciousness of humanity, to grow a community of like-minded people together that hold an energy and intention that helps to shift the way we view and treat animals for the good of all people," said Elaine.

RCVS annual renewal fee for vets due

RCVS' annual renewal fee for veterinary surgeons is now due. Vets must pay their renewal fee before Wednesday, 1 April 2026.

This year's standard annual fee has increased to 431 from last year's 418. This is an approximately three per cent increase, as approved by RCVS Council and the Privy Council.

Tshidi Gardner, RCVS treasurer, said: "The small fee increase will be used to help deliver both our everyday activities and our new ambitious Strategic Plan, which includes aims such as achieving new legislation, reviewing the Codes of Professional Conduct and supporting guidance, and continuing to support the professions through activities such as the Mind Matters Initiative, RCVS Academy and career development."

A full breakdown of the new fees is on the RCVS website. Information about tax relief is available on the UK government website.
