BulletinFebruary 2022 • 11Looking back at 2021 with theNorth East England BranchAsaRegional Branch, Idonot think we are alone in having struggled toengage with our members over the last couple of years. With restrictionson social events, amembership of key workers who have had tocontinue working throughout and the personal strains of the pandemic, it ishardly surprising that Branch activities have gone abit quiet. We have tried,maybe not always successfully,tofind the right balance between being thereand not being an annoyance. As we look forward to (fingers crossed) aface-to-face Congress in our region in 2022, this is alook back at what we did achievein 2021.AGM (Annual General Meeting) in FebruaryThe country was in lockdown and we had no choice but to hold the AGM onTeams but despite this, we still had areasonable turnout of 17 people andWendy Steel attended to give apresentation on the work of Animals in ScienceEducational Trust (AS-ET).AS-ET is acharity with the objective of advancing education and promotingexcellence in the care and welfare of animals used in science. AS-ET providesgrants, usually in the form of bursaries, to support individuals in educational andwelfare activities. At the time of the meeting, over £100,000 had been given outin bursaries and Wendy explained that anyone can apply and that all applicationsare considered and judged on an individual basis. 2020 was AS-ET’s10th year andunfortunately,anumber of celebration and fund-raaaaiiiisssiiiinnngactivities had been cancelled because of the pandemic–this included apopular danceathon which someoftheattendees hoped would be rescheduled (hinttthint!))).AS-ET held an onlineauction throughoutthe 2021 virtualCongress and Branchcommittee memberCathy donated thisvery cute handmadeIATrat ornament.IAT BULLETIN FEB22.indd 11 10/02/2022 11:23

Bulletin12 • February 2022May Bank Holiday Photo CompetitionInitially we hoped to meet outdoors as aBranch, but as spring progressed itbecame clear that Covid was not going away and it was not to be. Instead, weran aphoto competition and encouraged Branch members to get out and enjoynature locally –ifthey happened to clock up some miles for the BING virtualfitness challenge while they were out, then that was abonus.Judges were selected at random from the membership and each chose atopthree from the anonymised entries, it was so close that an extra judge had tobe selected to make afinal decision. Prizes of IATmerchandise went to the tworunners up –Ryan Hill for apic of Tenby beach which could easily be mistakenfor atropical paradise (wishful thinking maybe!) and Joanne Bland for abeautiful Burnet Moth. First place and agift voucher went to John Bland forhis snap of aGarden Bumblebee on aHyacinth.Unfortunately,wedid not do too well on the fitness challenge, but we didreceive some lovely photos, special thanks go to the team at University ofSheffield who really got involved and submitted most of the pictures!Garden Bumblebee by John Bland 1stplace.

Bulletin14 • February 2022Dalby ForestAfter what seems like alifetime of video meetings, facemasks and isolation, theNorth East Branch was finally able to arrange an event that saw people cometogether as agroup. Geographically,the Branch is vast and it is always difficultto agree on the best location for ameeting. After much deliberation and aBranch vote, we finally settled on afamily day at Dalby Forest.The Forestry centre at Dalby is afantastic place for adventures, cycling, walkingand picnics with the added bonus of having ahuge “Go Ape” centre with someepic zip lines. Just down the road, you also had the small village of Thornton-Le-Dale which is the location of the now famous Mathewson’sclassic car auctionfrom Bangers and Cash television fame.With ameet time of midday,attendees agreedto meet outside the visitor centre beforeasmall social gathering over lunch/picnic.Numbers were small……in fact, as you wouldexpect from agroup of Animal Technologists,there were almost as many dogs as there werehumans!Members from Bradford and York attendedand everyone there was happy to once againbe able to mix and talk to other Branchmembers. Following the lunch, we all went ourown ways –some cycling and others walkingaround the various routes available. Iamyet tosee any photos confirming whether “Go Ape”was attempted. Iguess Iwould have heard, ifit had been. They would have been braverthan me if they did.Ihope everyone who attended enjoyed theevent. It is our hope that this event will nowencourage more numbers and input for futureevents. Like Isay,pulling people togetherwhen they are spread between Sheffield andNewcastle is not easy,but we do our best.Here’stothe next get together.Dalby Forest reporter:Branch Chairperson Nathan HillIAT BULLETIN FEB22.indd 14 10/02/2022 11:23

BulletinFebruary 2022 • 15Christmas Murder MysteryIn the run up to Christmas the committee were determined to arrange asocialevent, initially we looked to go somewhere central but our first few choiceswere fully booked or did not respond to enquiries. It was looking bleak untilJoanne suggested amurder mystery night run by alocal charity at ahotel inSheffield. As aBranch we’ve done amurder mystery before and it got greatreviews, so we decided to go with it. Despite needing to advertise and book itwithin about aweek, we got agood response and ended up with 14 attendees,half technicians and half trade –with Treasurer Judith on the case, it was sortedin no time and we were good to go.On arrival we were told that it was an interactive experience, we were all extrasworking on afilm production and the main cast and crew would be movingaround the room, so we should all play along and get to know them. Our groupwas split over two tables, and it wasn’tlong before we were joined by some ofthe cast –awoman asking slightly aggressively about the colour of her eyes,and her partner who had been surreptitiously sipping from ahip flask and wason the lookout for his next drink.Then there was aformal announcement that the director had disappeared andthat his deputy would be overseeing filming the next day.This was followedsoon after by apolice report that the Director had been killed in acar accident,that his car brakes had been tampered with and that we, the extras, would beworking on the investigation!IAT BULLETIN FEB22.indd 15 10/02/2022 11:23

Bulletin16 • February 2022Over the next couple of hours, wemet all the other characters. Diarypages, pictures and personal emailswere posted up around the room. Wewere told about an affair,there was apoisoning and astabbing, each followedby more updates from the police. Wealso had athree-course meal and afewdrinks and then we had to nominate aspokesperson to present our conclusionsto the room –itwas at this point that itbecame clear,some people had paid abit more attention than others!The team on table four –includingBland and Bland super sleuths, hadbeen sat with some murder mysteryenthusiasts –their table put forward avery plausible scenario and identifiedthe same murderer as most other teams(no names obviously,itmight be aspoiler).IAT BULLETIN FEB22.indd 16 10/02/2022 11:23

BulletinFebruary 2022 • 17The team on table three had been alittle more interested in socialisingthan investigating and came up withadifferent theory,Nathan had beenthe hero, offering to go and presentour conclusions to the room, exceptthat when he realised he’d beengiven (probably) the wrong culprit, hewasted no time in telling everyone thathe’d been set up and blaming the restof us for giving him duffintelligence!Thankfully they caught the murdererwithout our help, the police summedup and the brilliant cast came back into take abow.We might not all have solved thecrime, but afew of us won on theraffle, the charity raised funds tosupport young homeless people. And afantastic night was had by all –itwas agreat way to end the year and hopefully ataste of things to come in 2022.

In addition,aggression is undesirable fromascientificperspective, for example where it leadstoanimals beingculledorremoved fromstudies, or where pain anddistress introducevariabilityinto experimental results. It is thereforecrucial to be able to detect aggressivebehaviour early on, understand thecauses, and take steps to minimise its occurrence.The NC3Rs is holding aworkshop at IAT Congress 2022 that will coverthe reasonswhy aggression may occur how this can affect animalwellbeing and science andstrategies and tips for preventing and managing aggression in mice, rats, rabbits,dogs, pigs and macaques. Participants will be able to share their experiences ofmanaging aggression andwillreceive practical recommendations andhandouts withsources of further advice.If you have already registeredfor IATCongress 2022, all youneed to do is wait foranemail fromthe organisers closer to thetimeofthe event, inviting youtoregister forworkshops.When workshop registration is open, sign-up for oneofthe two NC3Rssessionstolearn moreaboutmanagingaggression in laboratory animalspecies.If you would like more information on IATCongress 2022, or youwouldlike to register forattendance, visit: https://eu.eventscloud.com/website/4554/For recommendations on minimisingaggression in groups of male mice, seethe findings of thedatacrowdsourcing studycarriedout the by NC3Rs:www.nc3rs.org.uk/news/minimising-aggression-group-housed-male-miceManaging aggression inlaboratory animal species:NC3Rs workshopIAT Congress 2022HarrogateConventionCentreWednesday 30 and Thursday31 March 2022, 11:00 –12:30IAT BULLETIN FEB22.indd 27 10/02/2022 11:23
