A very warm welcome back to Kylie Dolphin RVN after her year long travels. Kylie will be spending her time at both Burghfield and Goring.
Goring is seeing some changes with both Ros Allen VN and Abi Giles RVN leaving us in January. Ros started at Burghfield a number of years ago and is a familiar face to many at both Burghfield and Goring. Ros will be greatly missed but we wish her all the best in her new venture. Abi has only being with us a short while but is an asset to Goring and will also be greatly missed. Good luck to both of you!

Sue Ryder Summer Charity Ball - Saturday 16th July 2011
The Sue Ryder Hospice provided care to our close friend and colleague, Kelda Guzman MRCVS.The care and dedication the hospice provided to her and continues to provide to many others inspired Vic Jermey to organise a summer ball. Vic along with Caroline Goulton, Wendy Grogan and Emma Gripton worked hard to organise the event to primarily raise funds (target £11,500) but also to celebrate the life of an amazing person and wonderful mother.
The event lived up to all its promises to be a fabulous evening, and a great time was had by all. The final amount raised is yet to be confirmed, but is expected to be in the region of £12,500! Thankyou to everyone who supported the event - you have all made a difference! Check out the blogsite http://suerydersummerball.wordpress.com
