We are delighted to be able to resport that we had two very successful events. The First one on September 18th, with the Rokeby Lions in Rugby. We tested 184 men. On October 2nd at St Finbarrs we tested 142 men. On both events we used the GF online booking system, unassisted and they ran smoothly with minimal queuing. See Coming Events for more detail.
