Signs of God News

 Congratulations to the BSL Bible Translation Project for completing the pilot DVD of Mark 1:1-3:6.  This DVD is now available eiether direct from the project or via our website on-line shop.

The DVD includes an explanation of the translation in BSL and a helpful glossary as well as an invitation to contact the project with your comments and feedback.

The 2012 Summer School promises to be better than ever.  Once again we are returning to King's Park, Northampton for a whole week of BSL in Christian settings. Last year's Summer School was full with 80 students and we are hoping for the same this year.

Over the Summer we piloted a range of clothing with the Signs of God logo.  The T shirts and fleeces proved so popular that now we are offering them to everyone.

The T shirts and fleeces come in a range of sizes and two colours: royal blue and maroon and the skinny fit T shirt comes in just three sizes and one colour: sky blue.  Take a look at Judy modelling the range below.

 Every year, Signs of God supplies interpreting teams to some of the major Christian conferences and holidays.  The teams are made up of a mixture of experienced, qualified interpreters, trainee interpreters and others who are level 3 holders.  A Team Leader ensures that team members are given work appropriate to their skill and training and then there is teh opportunity for monitoring and feedback for the interpreters.

 People who have served on team say it is a great experience.

 As usual, Signs of God took an interpreting team to Greenbeltat the Cheltenham racecourse over the August Bank Holiday.

This year we had nine interpreters and a person known by several names: "Gopher", "slave", "fairy" but was actually called Kathryn. She was the person who did all the running around the site, finding the information we needed and making sure everyone knew what was happening.

 The Signs of God Annual Meeting took place in Birmingham on Saturday 25th June 2011 and you can download the Annual Report here.

At the meeting, we were delighted to elect Janice Silo as a new trustee.  Janice has been involved in Signs of God for several years and has taught at both workshops and Summer Schools.  Janice has a background in Deaf education and we know she will bring a great deal of wisdom and experience to the Board of Trustees.

Gill still has a few of our popular conference style bags with the Signs of God logo and strapline.


These are for sale at 6GBP each plus 1.50GBP postage and packing.
