History.

"'Over the years there have been several versions of the AIMS (Australian Institute of Medical Scientists) Histology Discussion group, and for various reasons these have all had limited life spans. The current Histology Group of Victoria Inc. has evolved from a group which was created several years ago, driven by a committee predominantly comprising senior Histology personnel throughout Melbourne. The original committee comprised President: Tristan Roberts; Vice President: Sue Sturrock; Treasurer: John Mills; Secretary: Alan Sutton; Committee: Clare Christian; Irene Giouzeppos; Piero Nelva; Mike Rentsch; Clyde Riley; Ruth Wilkinson; Jane Witte. Their intent was to create a Histology group which catered to the needs of all people with an interest in Histology. This does not just mean medical scientists, which is why it was felt necessary to be independent of AIMS,like AACB (Australian Association of Clinical Biochemists) and ASM (Australian Society of Microbiologists), but unlike AACB and ASM, the primary concern is for local members, those in Victoria. Being affiliated with AIMS, however, has proven to be of mutual benefit to both organisations.
In 1998, with Tristan Roberts at the helm, the Histology Group of Victoria (affectionately known as the HGV) became an incorporated group. The HGV Inc. still remains a non-profit organisation with over 500 members subscribing to its bi-monthly newsletter "Paraffinalia".
The HGV runs a number of educational scientific meetings throughout the year as well as social events.2007 events included:

*March Scientific Meeting - Setting Up a CISH Laboratory

*May Scientific Meeting - Combined HGV/ ASC (Australian Society of Cytology) Meeting featuring presentations from pathology student from RMIT University.

*July saw the return of the annual HGV Trivia Night. Staff from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute took out the prize this year.

*September Scientific Meeting - Prostate Pathology

*November One Day Seminar and Workshops held in Geelong, Victoria.

In 2007 the HGV "gossip" column "Embed with Madonna" was "retired" from the Bi-monthly newsletter Paraffinalia.Travelling Europe was the reason given for Madonna's "retirement" however, it is alleged it was due to a number of complaints received by the editorial committee about some of the comments made in the column. Madonna's farewell column was published in the June 2007 edition of Paraffinalia.
