Dog Photographer of the Year
An enchanting image of a terrier running through a field of poppies has won the coveted Dog Photographer of the Year Award 2010.

16 year old Jennie Shelton from Shropshire beat off stiff competition from people of all ages and from around the world to win the competition.
 
 Jennie’s photograph, along with the winning images from the other categories ‘Dogs at Play’ (Angharad Gwenter from Llwynhendy) ’Dog Portrait’ (Terry Schmidbauer from USA), ‘Dogs at Work’ (Anne Plomp from Netherlands) and ‘Man’s Best Friend’ (Juliet Dearbergh from Monmouthshire), will be displayed at London’s leading dog event, Discover Dogs on 13th and 14th November 2010 at Earls Court. Jennie’s winning image will also be reproduced on the front cover of the December edition of the Kennel Club's flagship publication, the Kennel Gazette.
 
Jennie said of her triumph: “It's truly amazing, photography is something I am very interested in and something I am hoping to go on to study. I take the camera with me everywhere and I always think what angles and what compositions would make a good picture.” 
 
Jennie will now spend a day out with professional dog photographer Marc Henrie as part of her prize and her winning image will be on the front cover of the December issue of the Kennel Gazette.

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.
