Hello Eleanor Thanks for your comment. Each of us has to decide whether or not a price is worth paying and long distance travel is expensive. But nowadays, for a short trip in a taxi or fish and chips for one you can say good-bye to a fiver. If you use an expensive note-taker, get as much back from it as you can. My questionnaire returns showed that most note-taker users could get much more back than they currently do. We in AVIOS know how personal budgets are tight. So if you attend our training day on 6th October, you get free hot drinks and soft drinks during the event (and the knowledge you take away); and you can have free membership of AVIOS for a year. I hope you will email me to book to attend: Karl.farrell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tel: 020 7275 7650 -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 23 September 2012 18:10 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Announcement - A Note-taker Training Day on 6th October Too expensive for those not in employnent! -----Original message----- From: Karl Farrell Sent: 23/09/2012, 1:21 pm To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Announcement - A Note-taker Training Day on 6th October Note-taker users! we all help each other on these lists; but a training day can show you so much more about your equipment. It also boosts your awareness and your confidence to work things out yourself. Our training and networking day in London on Saturday 6th October is for Hims and Humanware voice and braille note-takers. Sight & Sound Technology and Humanware, respectively, have agreed to provide the trainers for the day and there will be plenty of opportunities for attendees to also share tips with each other. The day will be held in London by AVIOS (the Association of Visually Impaired Office Staff). Please email us for a brochure about the day. We are very happy to offer users of braille and voice note-takers a chance to get more benefit from their equipment and share tips with each other. This event is now less than two weeks away so please email me, Karl Farrell, for our brochure on the training day: Karl.farrell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Phone enquiries to 020 7275 7650. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
