BSL interpreters at TISLR 7?

[Adam Schembri]

Does anyone know if there will be any British Sign Language interpreters
accompanying British deaf participants at the TISLR 7 conference in
Amsterdam, July 22-27? The official languages of the conference are Sign
Language of the Netherlands (NGT) and English, so I am hoping that the
British deaf delegation will be organising to bring their own interpreters.

I am asking because I am aware of two deaf Australians who will be coming to
TISLR 7, but they will not be bringing their own interpreter. I am sure,
however, they would be comfortable following any BSL interpretation that is
provided (BSL and Australian Sign Language are perhaps best considered
varieties of the same signed language).

Cheers,

Adam Schembri
