Historical information

The theme for the 1996 National Arthritis Week (NAW) was "Ring the Bells for Arthritis", with the Glen Iris Handbell Ringers performing at the launch. There was a Joint Walk along Southgate, beside the Yarra River in Melbourne - one of around 24 Joint Walks held across Victoria during the 1996 NAW. In addition, there was a "Making Life Easier" expo held on the day. In this photo, a group of people walk along Southbank by the river during the Joint Walk. There is a brief report on this and other events held that week on pages 9 and 10 of the 1996 Annual Report.
