Aimed primarily at adults and older teenagers with albinism, this will be a chance to meet informally, chat and share experiences.
The Gatekeeper is a JD Wetherspoon pub in Cardiff city centre, within easy walking distance of Cardiff Central station for trains to London, Bristol, Swansea, West Wales and the valleys. Reasonably priced food and drink will be available.
Feel free to bring along friends or family members. There is plenty to see and do around Cardiff, so why not make a day of it?

Please note that this is an informal event run by an AF member, rather than an official AF event.
