Dear All
 
With apologies for cross-posting:
 
1.    Annual Conference - University of Nottingham - 13/14 July
 
Our plans are progressing well and I append below a list of speakers who have agreed to make a contribution to this event for us.  I hope to issue a full timetable as soon as possible after the next Board meeting on Wednesday, 21 April.
 
We have already received nearly 40 booking forms for Annual Conference, all taking advantage of the early bird discount which finishes at midnight this coming Friday, 9 April.
 
2.   One-Day Autumn Conference on Dyslexia - re-run of March event
 
We received nearly 60 e-mails expressing an interest for either a London or Manchester location for the re-run in November.  In the event these were in favour of Manchester in a ratio of 2:1. 
 
Accordingly, the Autumn Conference on Dyslexia will be held at the University of Manchester Conference Centre, Chancellors Hotel, on Wednesday, 3 November 2004.   Please find attached the booking form for this event, for which an early bird booking discount also applies.
 
3.    NADO Office Closure for Easter Break
 
The NADO Office will close at midday tomorrow, Thursday 8 April, and will re-open on Monday 19 April.  
 
All the latest news will be posted on our website (www.nado.org.uk).
 
On behalf of the Board may I take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy Easter.
