of Assembly today to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Constitution.

The joint session is just one of many events that will be held throughout the day, month, and year to commemorate the Constitution which brought about one-person, one-vote and placed the responsibility of decision making squarely on the shoulders of Government Ministers.

The session, which is scheduled to begin at 4.30 p.m., is expected to be short and include speeches by the Governor Lord Waddington, Senate President the Hon. Albert Jackson, House Speaker the Hon. David Wilkinson, Premier the Hon.

Sir John Swan, and Opposition Leader Mr. Frederick Wade.

After the session, present and former members will walk in procession to the Anglican Cathedral on Church Street for an ecumenical service which is to begin at 5.15 p.m.

This will be followed by a reception at Government House, hosted by Lady Waddington.

A "historical-purpose'' booklet on changes made to the Constitution over the past 25 years will also be published by the end of the year.

The Bermuda College will also host a two-day seminar on Constitutional matters in November.

High school students are expected to take part in an essay competition on what they think the next 25 years in Bermuda will bring.

And an exhibition, similar to the Corporation of Hamilton's 200th birthday exhibit at the National Gallery, is also expected.

"We hope that this 25th anniversary will prove to be a focal point on concentrating on the importance of the Constitution and focussing on the future,'' former long-time Cabinet Minister the Hon. Sir John Plowman, who chaired the event planning committee, said.
