McGuire programme

The day is completely free for all participants and lunch is provided (though we will be inviting donations).

Who is the day for?

The open day is open to any adult with an interest in stammering – adults who stammer, parents with children who stammer, speech and language therapists with an interest in stammering, partners, families and friends of people who stammer.

Unfortunately we can't offer facilities for children. Teenagers under 18 are welcome if accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Let us know if you can

It would help if you could let us know you are coming, so we know how many to cater for. However, it's fine if you just turn up on the day. The more the merrier.

To let us know you're intending to come, or for more information, please email londonopenday2012@yahoo.co.uk or phone the BSA office on 020 8983 1003.

For anyone not living in London, why not make a weekend of it? London has a mass of attractions, many of them free: www.visitlondon.com.

Raffle

We have got a great raffle lined up with brilliant prizes. We are calling it the 'Ron Smith Memorial Raffle', after Ron who organised our raffles for so many years and recently passed away. All proceeds go to BSA, so please try your luck!
