Hi Sandy!
Great to see you on the SignWriting List again. And thank you for your BSL web site, which provides us with two poems written in BSL:

Two BSL Poems written in SignWriting

I will write to get permission from the author of the poem "Whales" to print the poem for the workshop participants only - thanks for informing me to do that, Sandy -

And are you living in Wales, UK now? Can you attend the SignWriting workshop in Southport later this year?

Since you know SignWriting, and are Deaf yourself as well, I bet the participants would enjoy meeting you, and it would enhance the workshop -

Suzanne Pach is teaching the workshop -

And Maureen Doyle is the director who requested the workshop in Southport -

Maureen's contact information is on their web site:
