So far reckon the first weekend in April would be best - Saturday the 4th, and, yes, of course dogs are allowed since, FWIW, some people sometimes even bring their kids/pet puppies to this place, but we wouldn't allow anything but guide dogs inside that day, and Inzi already knows where the bathroom is inside - LOL!

Hi, just a suggestion. Maybe in the holiday. Like the weekend after or before.

Are dogs aloud?
Ha ha ha!

Hi there

Just to let you know that I today got confirmation that I can now choose
basically any Saturday in April to arrange this movie (soundtrack) night for
visually impaired/blindies this side.

I just thought may as well send out this message and depending on feedback,
will make up my mind.

The only weekend which might not be perfect is the easter weekend since some
people might be away.

Anyway, just to remind you mostly, the idea would be to start it off in the afternoon, and we'd maybe start off with something smaller/shorter as a form of intro, and then I think I'd sort of let everyone vote on what they wanted to hear/watch next since I have around 150 full narrated movie soundtracks ranging from classic, to comedy, to superhero's to science fiction, to real world, to horror, to musical, etc. etc., as well as one or two shorter audio
books which just have nice sound effects, different voices per character
etc. etc. which might also be a good start off earlier on in the afternoon.

Anyway, the place for this is called Antheo's, and it's just off the R25/P91 here in Kempton Park, so would be relatively easy enough to find/get to from
other places, and it's a pub/restaurant, with good food, and not bad
pricing, and the idea would be that on the day, if a sighted person wanted
to sit inside during the whole thing, they'd have to wear a blindfold to
give them an idea of how it feels/sounds, and I've also made sure there
should be one or two extra waitress/waiter types to help with any orders,
getting to the bathroom etc.

There wouldn't be any entry fee as such, and you'd just have to pay for
whatever drinks/food you wanted.

Anyway, now just have to make up my mind about which Saturday to do this on,
so if anyone's specifically interested in a specific date, let me know.

Stay well
