New Events System Test

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.

If you have an iPhone, iPad or Android device, it’s highly likely that you can braille in grade 2 directly on the touch screen and have it back translated instantly – a perfect replacement for the on screen keyboard. Matthew Horspool and special guest Chris Norman will demonstrate how this works on both iOS and Android and take your questions.

We will also briefly explore other ways of entering braille without a braille display, including the popular Perky Duck program from Duxbury Systems.

This evening’s Book Club will be the last before our summer break, so we’re going to be mixing things up a little with another of our infamous (in a good way) socials!

Our social events are a great way to relax your way into the weekend and the holidays whilst getting to (virtually) meet some members of the Club who you might not have spoken to before.

Instead of being put into the usual Beginners, Improvers, Intermediate and Advanced rooms, everyone will be put in one of about four different rooms with a random selection of other attendees. In practice, this usually means that you’ll be with at least two people you’ll know from your group and a few people from other groups.

After 10 minutes, we’ll swap everyone around to give everyone some new people to talk to. Time permitting, we’re intending to do this about five times. This may mean that we don’t quite finish on time.

We’d love to see as many Book Club members as possible, especially if you haven’t managed to make it in a while!
