RCVS Day in London last month saw numerous presentations made.
The photo below shows Dr Christophe Buhot, the new president of the FVE and a member of the board of the Lyon veterinary school (the world’s first), presenting commemorative stamps to mark World Veterinary Year to the then College president, Peter Jinman.
The photo at the foot of this column shows Bruce Vivash Jones (left), who qualified at the RVC in 1951, and Norman Comben, a 1945 RVC graduate, who each received a new award made by the RCVS Charitable Trust: the Lifetime Contribution Award for outstanding service to the trust over a long period.
Above are members of the College Council (and others) at the AGM; 3rd from left is Dr Chris Chesney, who received a fellowship by thesis for his study of the College’s disciplinary processes from 1881 to 2008.
At right are Des and Rosalie Thompson with the scroll of honorary fellowship presented to Des, who qualified in Dublin in 1961 and retired in 2009, having been president of the RCVS, BSAVA, SPVS, UEVP and various other bodies.
