SAEVA CONGRESS 2018 GOUDINI SPA WESTERN CAPE
I have the pleasure in welcoming you all to this our 50 th Annual Congress of
the SAEVA and celebrating our 51 st anniversary. After a most memorable
Congress last year it all seemed a little quiet leading up to this event but as
the date crept closer it all started building up to the climax we have become
so used to in previous years.
To our international and local invited speakers, we appreciate your time you
have given up and the travels you have endured to be with us this year and
share your knowledge with us and experience the friendship of the equine
vets in South Africa as well as the amazing hospitality this country’s people
are renown for.
Our local speakers are an integral part of this Congress and contribute
massively to the content. Thank you for your effort and engagement.
To our chairman of the SAVC and the newly appointed MD of the SAVA,
thank you for joining us for parts of this Congress. We appreciate your
attendance and welcome you spending time with our members and the valued
interaction that follows.
To all delegates, members and especially my whole committee, thank you for
the support and the engagement in the organisation’s activities throughout the
year.
I have endeavoured to get younger members involved in the organisation as
well as members from a broad spectrum of the equine profession.
This effort as well as the motto of ‘Get Involved’ will inspire continued support
and admiration of our organisation.
Thank you to Industry. I do not have enough words to describe my
appreciation of your ‘Involvement’. You are a vital cog to this Congress as well
as the industry as a whole, your support is appreciated.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my two years as President of SAEVA and would
like to take the opportunity to wish Terry Casey and his committees all the
best in the future and great enjoyment.
My motto ‘GET INVOLVED’
King Regards
Manfred Rohwer
