Birdshot logo

Posted on January 1, 2010 by Annie

This is the fabulous logo for Birdshot Uveitis Society that member David Bethell has designed for us. David who is a graphic artist has had birdshot since September 2006. It is absolutely fantastic to have a professional artist/graphic designer helping us with this and our other publicity material. In January David has kindly agreed to work on our letterhead, leaflets and poster designs for us to get into eye clinics, so watch out for them. You can see more of David’s work on his website at www.myspace.com/DavidJBethell.

If others have skills that they’d like to offer BUS, we’d be delighted to hear about them! Please do get in touch via birdshot@live.co.uk.

Happy New Year to everyone who has registered on the birdshot website and thanks so much for all the support and the enthusiastic feedback that we are getting.

New BUS leaflet

Posted on December 22, 2009 by Annie

Birdshot Uveitis Society’s first leaflet has recently gone to print and we are due to receive a 1000 copies shortly.

The printers, Docuprint Limited, have very kindly agreed to sponsor the costs of our first leaflet and we are extremely grateful to them for this generosity. We would particularly like to thank Sarah Thompson my account manager who managed the leaflet from start to finish. This is a really helpful and useful form of support and we are truly grateful for it in this economically difficult climate.

We hope to be distributing the leaflet to birdshot patients via hospital eye clinics. Please do get in touch with us if you would like us to send you a supply or you know anyone who would like to receive a copy. Our email address is birdshot@live.co.uk.
