Subject: Re: BCODP name change question
Dear Steve
As far as I can recall the name change occurred in 1993/4. Although this was a controversial decision it was deemed necessary so disabled individuals could join BCOCP. Hitherto membership was theoretically limited to organisations controlled and run by disabled people.
Best wishes
Colin
