On Thursday, 24 October 2013, Mr Ron Spalding gave a very interesting talk and video show on Blood Bikes. This is the name given to volunteer motorcyclists who provide a free service to NHS hospitals. They drive all over the Scotland delivering emergency supplies of blood and baby milk. In Lothian, the Borders and Fife, there are 6 blood bikers in the Borders and 20 in Edinburgh and there is also a centre in Glasgow, so between them, they manage to cover the whole of Scotland.
