Subject: IMPORTANT: March for BSL, 27th June 1999


>Dear all
>
>Ten years ago, a resolution to recognise sign language was passed in
>European Parliament. Nothing was done about it in Britain. Now a new
>resolution has been passed - if we don't do anything about it,
>nothing will get done yet again! So, a March for British Sign
>Language recognition is being planned by the Federation of Deaf
>People (FDP), and will take place on June 27th.
>
>This important event is a move to remind the Government that we want
>BSL to be recognised as an official British language, like Welsh and
>so on.
>
>The march will start from Temple Place, London WC2... march up
>Whitehall, stop at Downing Street to hand in a petition and then
>finish at Trafalgar Square for a Rally. Meeting time at Temple Place
>is 11am - the whole event is sure to provide fun for all (families
>included!) with a political note.
>
>Do come along and bring your friends - why not organise a coach from
>your area? If you are proud to sign, this is not to be missed!
>
>Please forward this email to anyone you like... enquiries should go
>to bslmarch at hotmail.com .... WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE INFO!
