Hi Philip

As long as all the litriture is in 16 font or larger, you can send and 
recieve it with AFTB.  The regulations do stipulate that the envelopes be 
unsealed so that counter staff can check if it is the right font.  I assume 
that they then seal it.

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
