All members were students at The University of Liverpool and part of The Faculty of Veterinary Science (now The School of Veterinary Science). The VGC has now expanded to 20 current members and is begining to realise its potential for future professional and social networking within the veterinary community.
Early Days Initially the VGC was established as a meeting of men with a common appreciation of whisky, ale, and cigars. The meeting format proved to be popular mainly due to its men only policy as the increasing women:men ratio made this a novel occurence. Meetings were held every 1-2 months throughout the term and quickly adopted a formal order.
