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 five 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.

This evening’s Book Club will be the first one after the summer break, so we’re going to be mixing things up a little with another of our popular social events. These are a great way to (virtually) meet some members of the Book Club who you might not have spoken to before.

Instead of being put into the usual 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 room and a few people from other rooms.

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!

Is the only reason you never judge a book by its cover because you can’t read the cover in the first place? With five 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.
