New Events System Test

Our popular braille-related drop-in session. No registration required – just turn up and ask your braille questions.

Is the only reason you never judge a book by its cover because you can’t read the cover in the first place? With four rooms to suit different ability levels, the Book Club is a welcoming group who meet every week to support each other with the ups and downs of mastering the braille code, answer each other’s questions regarding reading using refreshable braille and practice reading amongst friends. You don’t have to choose your group in advance, and you can move to another group at any time if you think it would be more suitable.

It’s often said in the industry that garbage in = garbage out, but what does this mean in practice?

Our Chairman Dave Williams will hold a conversation with Kawal Gucukoglu, who worked for many years as a braille transcriber at RNIB. They will discuss the principals of effective braille layout – headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and so on – and how to implement them in electronic file formats to achieve optimum quality.

Is the only reason you never judge a book by its cover because you can’t read the cover in the first place? With four rooms to suit different ability levels, the Book Club is a welcoming group who meet every week to support each other with the ups and downs of mastering the braille code, answer each other’s questions regarding reading using refreshable braille and practice reading amongst friends. You don’t have to choose your group in advance, and you can move to another group at any time if you think it would be more suitable.
