Ballarat SCI Regional Network - December 2015 meeting

Being the last meeting of the year and International Day of People with a Disability the group met for a social outing. They enjoyed a special guided tour of the Ballart Art Gallery, with the guide giving interesting insight into the stories behind the exhibits and artists.

The Art Gallery is fully accessible, with toiled and lifts. There are two lifts to the 2^nd floor, either by the standard lift, or by the huge goods and services lift, which some people used.

After the tour, the group was lucky enough to enjoy a social catch-up over a catered lunch in the Williamson Gallery space – feeling quite honoured to be given this extraordinary opportunity. After lunch they continued to explore the gallery, seeing the opening of PINARC; which is art by people with various disabilities.

The next meeting will be on the 14^th January 2016, midday at Lake Wendouree (meeting place to be advised). Bring a Plate of food to share!
