Hi Everyone. My name Is Sylvia Brabbs and I am a relatively new volunteer to Talking News. I am a retiree and amongst various hobbies (reading – I am a member of two reading groups, traveling, cooking) I also like to play bridge. Thus it was that my path crossed with David Henderson, STN Technical Manager. In between bridge games he persuaded me to become a Copier. Little did I realise that a few months later Steph Brown would retire as STN Secretary, leaving a vacancy that I have rashly agreed to fill. Hopefully I can do the job as well as Steph has done.
Before I retired, I worked as a pupil support for a very special young lady who has been blind since birth. I produced all her braille worksheets and reading materials and tactile diagrams so she could fully participate in main stream education. It was a job that I greatly enjoyed.
