Pigs fly, hens teethe, RCVS tweets

As far as we know, only one of these seemingly impossible events has occurred in the last couple of weeks. Yes, it's true. We have now joined Twitter!

This first tentative step into the mysterious world of social media will not only complement our other communications activities, such as our website, newsletters and e-news, but also enable us to receive your feedback more easily.

To start with, we'll be tweeting news headlines, event announcements, deadline reminders and website updates, which we hope you'll find useful.

So, whether you're already amongst the glittering ranks of the Twitterati, or are still struggling to tell your retweets from your hash-tags like we are, why not pay a visit to our Twitter page (@rcvs_uk) and follow us?

Look forward to hearing from you.
