It’s back!! By popular demand, British Deaf News (BDN) has returned – new and refreshed for 2008.

The New Year sees a new BDN, which has been given a fresh look to help take the British Deaf Association into a ‘new era’. This will replace the magazine which has been SignMatters for the past four years, but will remain a full-colour monthly magazine, priced at £2.00.

The decision to revert back to the much-loved title of BDN finally came about following the discussion which was held at the 2007 BDA Congress in Southport. Many people felt a strong preference to the magazine of old and wanted to see a move back to this style of magazine, with more deaf community news and a stronger emphasis on the Deaf community.

One of the new features will be the monthly message from the Board, which will be written by a different Board member each month. This is aimed at providing information about the Board and any activities planned or important news.

We hope you will enjoy the new-look BDN. Please get in touch with us if you have any feedback about the magazine or if you would like to submit an article, news item or would like a birth, marriage or death to be published. Email: BDN@bda.org.uk
