Oakwood Shopping Scheme
From the end of June 2008, the member benefit of the Oakwood online shopping discount scheme will finish. This is due to the low numbers of members that took advantage of the scheme. It was therefore felt that other benefits for members should be sought by the BVNA.
If members would like to give feedback on the scheme, or have different ideas on what benefits members would like, as part of their membership with the BVNA please contact the BVNA Office.
