Hi all,
I hope someone can help.
I have just become secretary for a blind bowls club. I wish to send out
entry forms for a forthcoming tournament to other blind bowls clubs. If I
print these forms and preprinted replies in a suitable large font is it
acceptable to use the articles for blind service for both invitation and
reply. The replies will come to me and I am blind.
Regards
Philip
