Yesterday evening I attended the West Berkshire Disability Alliance AGM at the United Reform Church Hall in Newbury.
I like the way they started the meeting, by passing around their microphone and asking everyone in the room to introduce themselves. This was primarily for the benefit of the several blind members, but everyone benefits from knowing who is there, and the groups they represent.
The chairman's report highlighted all the consultation exercises the group is asked to undertake - many for the district council, but for other organisations too. They are certainly kept busy.
I was asked to present the first WBDA Member of the Year award to Roy Smith, one of their blind members - I also got to put a medal on his lovely labrador guide dog!
