Hi there,

I just discoevered this group today (well, since it's 2am it was yesterday :-)
Interesting reading.  I'm legally blind and from Melbourne, Australia.
Anybody else from around here reading this group?
anyway, I would be interested in finding sports played by blind people in
other countries.  (about the only international sport I know of is Goalball)
in Aust. we have blind cricket (nationally, and in New Zealand as well)
There are a few of us (who have fairly good sight for blinkies) who have
entered a team in a local basketball comp. (in 'I' Grade too!) - We've
played 3 seasons now, and have actually managed to win one game! (hate
to be in the team we beat *grin*)

Hope to hear some responses
Scott.
