Wymondham and Attleborough Talking Newspaper (W A T N) is marking their 24th anniversary this month.

It was on Good Friday, 10 April 1998 that the first edition of the weekly audio news and information service for visually impaired people was recorded and a monthly audio magazine was subsequently added to the output.

Initially, recordings were copied onto cassette tapes and distributed by post, by means of the Royal Mail “Articles for the Blind” free post concession. Now a USB stick is used and listeners to the free service are supplied with a machine on which to play them.

All recordings can be accessed via the website www.watn.org.uk

If you know of someone who would like to receive the service or you are interested in helping with the recordings, please contact the W A T N Secretary on 01953 605434.
