Hi Phil.
Once again, English vi access proves it's status.
I've just been on the rnib catalogue site (sinse my mum has decided to try
Uno and we needed a set a braille cards), games and hobbies lists many
catagories such as sewing, and playing bingo, but about the most vigorous
game they've got provision for is snakes and ladders.
It really does hack me off sometimes how litle support there is in the Uk
for any Vi person under the age of 60.
I'd absolutely love a bleeping beach volleyball, ---- just for mucking
about
on the beach with if not actually playing the sport. Would you happen to
know if I could order one and get it shiped over here?
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
There are several beep balls for softball and baseball.
I even got a beeping basketball and a waterproof beech volley ball.
I guess the beeper could be removed and taped onto a hockey puck.
Phil

Perhaps there is a gap in the Vi accessaries markit for something which
is
the size of a watch battery and makes a continuous beeping sound.
I've played pool myself, but only again because the yellow balls
contrast
with the table.
I'm not sure how you'd do snooker pool without some sort of overview
feature
or feeling the table as you suggest, but for games with a single small
ball, ---- for instance golf, a continuous stick on buzzer would be the
thing I think.
The problem again would be that such a device, despite being symple to
make,
would have it's price raised by a good few hundred quid as soon as you
say
the word "accessible"
While not a direct solution to the issue (though possibly handy for
golf), I
once saw an infra red buzzer. You had a small sensor which you stuck on
things, and a control linked with an infra red ray. Press the control,
and
if the sensor was within a set distance, ---- it'd beep.
Very handy (I myself rather fancied it for marking a seat in a theatre
or
train when I went off to the loo or to grab a coffee), however the three
hundred and fifty pound price tag (which I believe given current
exchange
would be somewhere in the region of eight or nine hundred Usd),
deffinately
and absolutely put me off.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
