2018 Graduation and Prize Giving Ceremony
Wednesday 21 November 2018
Welcome to a very special occasion
Welcome to Canterbury Cathedral and the 2018 Association of British Dispensing
Opticians Graduation and Prize Giving Ceremony. This magnificent Cathedral is
alive with history; from its origins as a small church built by St Augustine in the 6th
century, through 1,400 years of development and change into the beautiful building
which surrounds us today. It is the perfect setting for this important event and I look
forward to the pleasure of conferring graduate status upon our new colleagues.
Graduating in such splendid surroundings is a special privilege and I am very
pleased to see that we have so many to honour here today.
The following pages contain the list of graduands upon whom the Fellowship of the
Association of British Dispensing Opticians will be conferred, and also the names of
those due to receive higher honours and special prizes.
The act of graduation follows a time honoured tradition. The graduands approach
the dais one by one to be congratulated and receive the ceremonial handshake.
This official handshake is the key to graduation, because at that moment our
graduands become graduates and stand on equal terms with their colleagues
within their chosen profession of dispensing optics.
Association of British Dispensing Opticians
Our graduands have worked long and hard towards
this day and I am sure that their families and friends are
very proud of the achievements which we are
celebrating. I should like to add my personal
congratulations on their successes and I hope that
everyone will remember this very special occasion for
many years to come.
Clive Marchant FBDO
President
Doors to the Cathedral will open at 6.30pm and the
ceremony will commence at approximately 6.45pm

About the Association
The Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO) was formed in 1986 when
its two predecessors, the Association of Dispensing Opticians and the Faculty of
Dispensing Opticians, were merged following the Health and Social Security Act
of 1984. The profession of dispensing opticians has been regulated voluntarily
since 1926 and, as a statutory profession, by the 1958 Opticians Act; since when
the conduct of dispensing opticians has been regulated partly by legal
provisions, by advice given by the General Optical Council and by ABDO’s own
Advice & Guidelines to Fellows.
ABDO is the only professional body solely dedicated to the interests of dispensing
opticians, both individually and collectively, and to the profession of dispensing
optics. Since it was founded the total number of members has more than
doubled. ABDO has also grown internationally and now has members and
conducts its activities in over 25 other countries outside the UK.
ABDO currently has 9,000 members and represents over 6,000 qualified
dispensing opticians in the UK. It also has 600 members overseas, 500 associate
members and approximately 1,800 student members worldwide.

Academic dress Working with robe markers Ede & Ravenscroft, thought to be the oldest firm of tailors in the world, ABDO commissioned new academic dress for its Fellows in 2012. Designed by fully acknowledging the traditional origination process, the colourful, green and gold hoods are derived from the core colours of the Association crest. The basic item of academic dress is the gown, which has evolved over the centuries from clergy robes. The ABDO gowns are plain black and open fronted and there are two styles, one for those who hold the FBDO, FBDO CL, FBDO R qualifications and one for those who have acquired FBDO (Hons) CL, FBDO (Hons) LVA, FBDO (Hons) SLD honours qualifications and Honorary Fellows, HonFBDO. There are also two different versions of the ABDO hood, the honours hood being faced with green (25mm) on the cape edge. The headwear for ABDO qualifications is the Mortar Board.
