[bcab] Guide Cats publicity - for your intranets

Hi all,
 
I've just had a piece put up onto our Intranet in the charities and appeals 
section, to get staff to contact me about the CD's.  Please see below, and have 
a go at getting something similar put on to your intranets, into your church 
magazines and any other publications where they're looking for contributions 
from readers, members or whatever and they're not charging for advertising 
space.

I'll be getting Terry's radio stations appeal loaded onto our intranet in the 
same way.  Perhaps when the time comes we might all do likewise.

The text of the item on our intranet can be found below my signature, and by 
all means please get it copied verbatim onto your own intranets etc if you can.

Best,
Clive
Text begins:
"Guide Cats for the Blind vols 1 and 2", comedy CD's to give blind people a 
first test of computers

Two CD's of humorous poems performed by a host of celebrities, have been 
produced to raise funds for a project to bring independent access to computers 
and the written word to blind people who are missing out.

All of the songs an poems on these CD's are written by Manchester comic poet 
Les Barker, and together give you nearly three hours of laughter.

Guide Cats for the Blind, the first volume, features contributions from sir 
Terry Wogan, Sir Jimmy Young, Paul Gambaccini, Nicholas Parsons, Roy Hudd and 
many more.  This double album contains 40 tracks, with titles to make your mind 
boggle, such as: "I can't find my camouflage net", Nobody hugs a hedgehog" and 
"The dog formerly known as prince".

Volume 2, entitled "The Missing Persians file", builds on the idea of Guide 
Cats for the Blind, with 22 more of Les Barker's works on a single CD.  This 
one features titles like "I don't like my boomerang" by Emma Chambers (alice 
Tinker from Vicar of Dibley), My snails have not yet arrived (by Timothy West 
and Prunella Scales), and "Will the turtle be unbroken" by folk singer Tom 
Paxton.  Others featured on this album include Jeremy Vine, John Humphreys, 
Joss Ackland, Rodney Bewes and Ed "Stewpot" Stewart.

To find out more about the CD's and the project, please visit www.bcab.org.uk.  
You can buy copies of the CD's at £10 + £2 p&p per album, or £15 +£3 p&p for 
both volumes, by contacting Clive Lever by email at clive.lever@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, 
or on 07711 607272.  

When you've bought your album and listened to it, why not pick your favourite 
track and ask your local BBC radio station to play it.  We're also asking that 
you write to the Sarah Kennedy programme to request the Timothy West/Prunella 
Scales track above, or to Mark Radcliffe for Non Sequiturs by Roger Lloyd 
Pack...and remember if you like the album: They make excellent Christmas 
presents, birthday presents and raffle prizes.
