Story of Blind Children’s weekend to Girvan in 1976 At present we are archiving all our previous Playback Magazines which are on reel to reel tape, first recorded in May 1976. During the process we are coming across many programmes worth giving another play. This month we have a story written by Bob Foster who for many years was the mobility officer in Strathclyde. He, along with others, volunteered to take a group of visually impaired children to Girvan. The story first appeared on the June 1976 edition of Playback, it’s read by Betty Anderson. Maybe some of the children now listen to Playback! National Talking Express Another contribution from Roland Myers at Infosound. This time he talks to Martin about 30 years of NTE.
