A special facility is available
to blind residents in Datchet.
The Slough & District Talking Newspaper for the
Blind
provides a free service by providing a 90
minute audio
tape by post to registered listeners every
Saturday
morning.These tapes provide a balanced report
of
selected extracts from the two local newspapers
the
Express and the Observer.
The Association has been
offering the service for over
20 years. Some 60 volunteers, who give freely of
their
time, record the tapes on Friday mornings.
These tapes
are then copied and delivered to the Royal Mail by
10pm
on Friday evening. The Royal Mail delivers the tapes
free
of charge.
The Association's Life Vice President
is a Datchet
resident , Percy Whitford. A founder member, he was
Chairman of the Association for 10 years.
