Hi
As rnib has an amazon shop, it may be worth looking on there
as the prices could be much lower, if they have them at a
much lower price, it says it all.
Regards
Adrien

Hi Peter
Yes you could, quite easily, with a Perkins and some time.
But why should you when the RNIB sell them on their online
shop? I'm not having a pop, just agreeing with Ibrahim that
it's not fair.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

I have no idea what a pack of cards costs in an ordinary
shop, but my suggestion is just to buy one and obviously
with sighted assistance, Braille them.

Hi Everyone.
I know we?ve discussed games on here in the past, so
I thought I?d raise this issue as it raises my hackles
somewhat. I was on the RNIB online shop this morning
looking for brailed playing cards, and was shocked to
discover that these cards cost £7.26, while the standard
printed cards cost less than half this at £3.5. For an
organisation that claims to promote equal access, this is
hardly an encouragement to take up a new hobbies or interest
as it penalises those of us who must use braille. A couple
of sets of these cards would set me back a Wapping £14.5, an
outrageous amount of money considering that the work
required to adapt these cards IE putting a suit and numeric
denominator on each hardly merits such an inflated price.
Thoughts anyone?
All the best, Ibrahim.
