Cardiff alumni weekend aims to advance skills

The weekend (July 2-4) is open to past graduates, and head of department Chris Wigham has written to those who gained their qualifications from the University of Wales during the past three decades inviting them to participate. The first day of the three-day event will include a series of practical sessions geared towards advancing professional skills. Saturday will be devoted to five hours of research lectures, with a formal alumni ball event that evening in Cardiff City Hall. The final day will be devoted to a walk in the Brecons, which is limited to 60 people. A reunion for those who graduated from Cardiff's Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences during 1977-79 will take place at West Midlands Optical stand (B70) on the Sunday of Optrafair (April 18) at 4pm.
