Everyone with an interest in developing opportunities for blind

The theme is: "Changing Vision-ABAPSTAS 30 years on"
We have invited an officer from the National Union of Teachers and a student
representative to speak about topical issues which affect our members.
Fred Reid will be launching our Access to Libraries campaign. In his talk,
Fred will outline the hard work which has gone into putting together this
campaign, and will illustrate ways in which members can help to strengthen
and publicise this campaign.
We have also invited a speaker from Ireland to talk about equal rights and
opportunities initiatives for people with disabilities in Ireland.
As it is our 30th birthday, we also hope to invite an after-dinner speaker
and provide a late bar and some evening entertainment; so come and join our
birthday celebrations.
