Getting to know your peers - archery, highland games and networking

East Scotland Faculty members are invited to a fun, non-medical networking and social event. Try your hand at archery and battle it out in the Mini-Highland Games of haggis hurling and welly wangin'. Led by a team of experienced outdoor enthusiasts, we believe this will be an excellent way to leave the stresses of work behind and have a little fun with peers and colleagues from across the area. No previous archery or welly wangin' experience required.
