We’ve had a great year for the Braillists in 2016, seen membership tip over 250, and lots of expressions of interests from a variety of new projects. Therefore Braillists groups will now have a much greater project focus rather than restricted to geographic location. For example, groups will come together to test the Canute for Bristol Braille Technology, support the development of other braille-related technologies that come along, develop innovative approaches for teaching braille, advocate for braille generally, etc. Groups will still be able to meet together if the members live near to one another, but they will also include members who participate remotely, using Skype for example.
