LAST NEWSLETTER FROM GRANT AND ROD

With elections taking place this coming Wednesday, this edition marks the end of our involvement in producing the Vets’ weekly newsletter.

The purpose of the newsletter has always been to keep you informed about what’s happening at both the club and District vets' level. Many of our past members have continued to subscribe, and the newsletter consistently achieves an excellent read rate, a testament to your ongoing interest and support.

We hope someone else will take on the role and continue keeping everyone informed in the future.
