Hi everyone,

We hope that everyone who was able to attend this years SAMSOC meeting enjoyed the day.

We are already starting to consider lecture subjects for next year so if you have any ideas please contact us.

Stijn is currently processing the feedback questionaires, but would like to hear from any members who did not come, particularly if it was because you didn't find the program appealing. We hope there are not many of the latter, but if you didn't like the look of the programme we would find your comments invaluable.

Alison Ridyard has stepped down from the programme commitee and we would like to thank her again for her hard work during the last five years. During the AGM Sheena Warmen was voted in as her replacement .

I am sure you will agree the case report session (sponsored by Vetoquinol) was a success. The winners based on audience voting were

• First Place  - Renal Glucosuria and Aminoaciduria in a Hyperthyroid Cat.
  Miss. L. V. Goodwin
• Second Place - A case of Granulomatous enteritis in a cross-breed dog.
  Mr Alasdair Stuart  
• Third Place- Erythrocytic PK deficiency causing anaemia in a WHWT.
  Florence Juvet

Thanks again to all of the members who submitted a report and we hope we can look forward to another quality case report session next year. We are currently working on securing prize sponsership for next years submission
