Subject: [access-uk] Articles for the blind

    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
