Hi,
I have a question. I have already pay my health insurance bill, but I have not had the health insurance card. Is that ok, or I have to take it, and I do not know where should I take it. Could you please tell me how I can do for this?

Hi Assel, there are no more spots available for tubing unfortunately. I took out the form yesterday because we had reached the maximum number of participants for this outing.
