Dancing Dog in the Final
Tina and Chandi.
Tina and her dancing dog, Chandi have made it through to the final of Britain’s Got Talent 2010. 

Winning the most public votes on Tuesday evening, Tina and Chandi have flown through into the final of Britain’s Got Talent 2010, due to be aired on Saturday 5 June. They will go up against the likes of Tobias Mead, Spelbound and Connected.

Tina (37) always wanted a Blue Merle Border Collie and just over 11 years ago she met Chandi (now 12) who was dumped at Telford dog pound aged 4 months. As soon as Tina got Chandi home she started teaching her tricks, and when she was 9 months they entered their first competition together. Currently Chandi is Crufts champion for freestyle, international freestyle and heel work to music.

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.
