The Harrogate branch of Epilepsy Action, the UK’s largest member-led epilepsy organisation, is hosting an information evening on 15 September 2010.
The event will take place at Majestic Hotel, Springfield Avenue, off Ripon Road, Harrogate, from 7.00pm to 8.45pm, and is open to anyone with an interest in epilepsy.
