Apologies if I've missed it but when is the next Cancer screening due at t'Turf?

I believe there will be one early in the season but I've not seen a date

Thanks Tony

I thought the same but could have missed it.

It was in February when I went 2 years ago but could be more than one session. Thankfully I was all clear but my brother who went last year and who is under 50 was found to be positive but early stages and had no symptoms! All is well now with him but without going would never have known until potentially too late. Brilliant service and would encourage all mid aged men to go for a check up every year. Fantastic service and charity supported by the club and Mr Kilby.

Every time they've had one it has clashed with an away match so not had the test done. I had a meeting with Barry a while ago on something else and he asked me if I was ok. When I said I hadn't had the test he told me to go and get it done. I did and I'm thankfully OK.

He's absolutely spot on in that there is a reluctance from men to go to their GP so this proves to be a fantastic service because it has been proven that men will go to the local football club even when everyone knows why they are there. I think Barry has organised three at the Turf and he's also run one at Deepdale. It would be fantastic if more and more clubs held these testing days.

I've been on the away games when the screening was done
Where do you go otherwise?
It would be good if it could be on an international break
