The Future


  • Our History
  • Constitution

    The Association started by producing cassette tapes in 1982 but it has long been realised that it is not well known in the community. Potential listeners either have not heard of the service, or believe it is only available to those who are registered as blind or partially sighted. It is essential in the future that local people know all about this local service. This website is part of our publicity initiative.

    Each generation has learnt to use the ‘latest’ technology such as records, tapes, CD’s, or computers and this technology will develop in the future and the Association must keep up with our listener’s requirements. Since 2010 the Talking Newspaper has been sent out to listeners on a memory stick. Eventually we may also be able to put our weekly tape out via this website.
