| New Hand-held Sign Language Guides at Museum |
| Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum is now even more accessible to
a wider number of people. Deaf visitors to the Museum can have a
tour presented in sign language using the latest hand-held video
technology. To launch the guide a specially invited group of local
visitors were given the opportunity to try this innovative guide.
Deaf tennis champion Anthony Sinclair also attended the event with
cameras from BBC Television’s ‘See Hear’ programme.
Anthony Sinclair played in the first deaf tennis match at the Wimbledon
Championships in 2004.
