A thank you – Terry Riley

This video was shown at BDA's Annual General Meeting on Saturday 14th April 2018 as a special tribute to Dr Terry Riley OBE . The AGM was Terry's last as Chair of the BDA, whom he has served for nine years - 2009 to 2018.

On behalf of everyone at the BDA and the Deaf community, we thank you, Dr Terry Riley OBE, for your tireless commitment as a staunch supporter, a steadfast campaigner and a true trailblazer for sign language rights over the years.

We know you won’t be putting your feet up, but we wish you all the best!
