Welcome

Days are growing shorter and a fair bit colder as we settle into another Scottish Winter. But there are plenty of events and activities over these darker months to keep us busy.

Our Winter Dinner Dance was held in November and was a brilliant night. Check out the photographs and story on pages 16, 17 and 18. Irish television star and comedian, Dara O’Briain, was the first class, extremely funny, entertainer on the night. If you were unable to join us maybe you can think about coming along next year, it really is an event not to be missed.

We have lots of Sports news this issue, to be expected when we have had the Rio Games this year and lots of Scottish success. See pages 5, 8 and 14.

We also have lots of useful advice for readers, everything from legal pointers, welfare issues and getting the best out of your wheelchair. SIS member Doug Paulley also has lots to say on the subject of equality and areas surrounding the legal issues of access and transport, read his inspiring article on page 12.

Thanks for reading!
