I'll give any group of, or for, the blind a chance. If they try excluding
me, I'll point out what they're doing, and see what happens. Then, if
they're still not interested in increasing their membership, the heck with
them, after I let them know that they're doing one of the very things
they're supposedly trying to stamp out.

Hi Ian.
I think this might be worse in Britain than the states, though obviously
it exists there in some form too. It's not just with sports either, as I
said the drama group were exactly the same, which is now why I have very
little to do with groups for the blind myself.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi, I do not like it when people just do sports and set up clubs, not
really looking for new members. I had this experience with a local
shooting club which i was going to join, the problem is there is no
structure and they went to one place looking for members and did not
advertise the club so that people who wanted to join could get the
chance. Our blind soccer team in west brom is always open to new members
coming along and trying the sport out, if they just want to train that's
fine with us but we try and get them to a level where they feel able to
give it a try in proper game situations. I try and get involved with
mainstream things as much as I Can such as my Toastmasters public
speaking club, I have not even been there six months and they've asked me
to join the club comity and do the PR work for them. It is something i've
never done before or had any experience in so i'm looking forward to it.
The problem with blind sports is most blind people went to special
schools or colleges which is why it's so clinky.
