Carousel
The Brighton based arts organisation for people with learning disabilities held a Film Festival in November 2004 and will hold another next year. They are looking for short films made by people with learning disabilities that might be eligible for the festival. If you have made a film or would like to make one for the festival here are some details...
The First Carousel Film Festival is in partnership with Junk TV.
Prizes for films will be awarded in three categories. Best 1, 5 and 10 minute films.
They will accept submissions by MINI DV (pref) or VHS.

If you feel that you would like to have a go and have learning disabilities then contact Carousel on Brighton 234 734 or email them on projects@carousel.org.uk or you can even do it the old fashion way by writing to them at Carousel, Community Base, 113 Queens Road, Brighton BN1 3XG.

Sand Shoes
You may ask what is this? They are a quick, convenient way to convert your standard NHS wheelchair to an off-roader. There may be a few adjustments needed to be made before you begin. Like how skis travel across snow this patented design enables a wheelchair to glide across sand with ease and allows a beach holiday to be enjoyed. You decide your own colour. They cost £49.95. If you would like to know more then email: sandshoe2003@yahoo.co.uk or fax 0151 420 7097.
