Audio Description at Olympics and Paralympics 2012?
Would you go if events were audio described?
Dear Friend
You may be aware that registration for applications for tickets for the
Olympics
opened at the beginning of this week.
We at VocalEyes have been in discussion with the RNIB and the Olympic
authorities
to try to ensure that there will be provision of description around all the
events,
sporting and cultural, at both the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games.
This
would mean that if blind and partially sighted people were interested in
being present
at what will be the biggest celebration of culture and sport in the UK for
years,
they could access and enjoy them along with everyone else.
Could you let me know if you would consider going to the events if they were
accessible
in this way?
NB events includes the Torch Relay, the Opening and Closing Ceremonies,
Medal Ceremonies,
and the Cultural Events which will be happening in the Olympics Sites and
the Live
Sites around the country
Kind regards
Judy Dixey
