SIR ­— Through your pages I would like to thank Mr and Mrs Ahir of The Paper Shop, Cullingworth, for their continued support of the Talking Telegraph, Bradford’s district talking newspaper. During this weekend’s village Scarecrow Festival they generously gave space in their shop window to promote our work and to display our Miss Muffet scarecrow, her guide dog and spider.

Since 1985 our wonderful Talking Telegraph (TT) volunteers have quietly been working away to record and distribute this free, weekly summary of the T&A to visually-impaired people across the district.

If, like the Ahirs, any of your readers are willing to donate a little time, skill or space, please ring Michael on 07511 611547 for more details. All volunteers are welcomed and valued.

Karen Stansfield, John Street, Cullingworth
