The cost to those taking dinner is £30 per person, again unless otherwise notified. There is no charge to attend the meeting and address only.
Fellows will receive a Notice of Meeting and Agenda in the post and should reply to this in the usual way. Cheques should be made payable to "Central Veterinary Society". Non-Fellows who may wish to attend a particular meeting (other than as a guest of a Fellow) should contact the Hon. Secretary.
Most meetings are at moderately smart venues where gentlemen are expected at least to wear a tie and not to wear jeans. Ladies - well, avoid the jeans, anyway. Menus are table d'hôte, and Fellows should advise the Hon. Secretary in advance if a vegetarian meal is required, or of any other major dietary restrictions.
