Problems with our players - an important message from the RNIB
The RNIB has informed Fenprobe of problems with the charging pads of the new Accord players (pictured on this webpage) and advised us that the charging pads must no longer be used and should be replaced. This will take some time to implement, but once the new equipment has been received we shall begin to distribute it and collect in the old charging pads. Meanwhile it has been decided that Fenprobe groups will not record and distribute Ely Standard usb sticks over the Summer - you can expect the next recording to take place, we hope, in September. We do apologise for any disappointment this causes our regular listeners. Fenprobe listeners who have the older box shaped player can happily continue to use it meanwhile for RNIB Talking Books if they wish. Fenprobe Talking News AGM - Wednesday 17th April 2024 A small, but select, group attended the AGM. The commitee members were re-elected with the welcome addition of reader Chris Evans to the team. There are still two vacant seats on the committee if anyone is interested in joining us, and a new secretary needs to be recruited. The chairman was able to report that Fenprobe's finances are in a healthy state, and that the numbers of both readers and listeners had increased over the year. |
