In the last issue you will have<br />
read about the Deafblind UK<br />
(DBUK) member forums which<br />
are taking place across the<br />
country. The first of these took<br />
place at our headquarters on<br />
the 20th of September.<br />
Members are giving great<br />
feedback about the services<br />
they would like DBUK to<br />
provide, all of which we will<br />
take into consideration.<br />
One of the requests from the<br />
first forum was to print more<br />
stories in <strong>Open</strong> <strong>Hand</strong> from<br />
members about their daily<br />
lives. I’m pleased to tell you<br />
that we have included a range<br />
of member stories in this<br />
edition and as always, we<br />
welcome you to send in pieces<br />
to include. We usually look for<br />
up to 400 words per article so<br />
we may cut down longer<br />
pieces, or print them in<br />
sections. I do know that there<br />
is a taste for some poetry<br />
among members and I'm<br />
happy to continue to print<br />
poems either written by<br />
yourselves or favourites that<br />
you like, so please send them<br />
in. We may not be able to<br />
publish every submission but<br />
we will try to fit them in where<br />
suitable or reserve them for a<br />
future edition.
