PSA Testing Events

We have now held three very successful events since September last year. Our most recent event was on 12 March at the Coventry Sphinx Club. For all these events we used the GF online booking system. As a result they have run smoothly with minimal queuing and proper social distancing. Our next event will be held on 11 June at the Willenhall Social Club, Coventry - see Coming Events for more detail.
