Receive Hamilton Sound by post
Our Talking Newspaper service is free of charge.
Contact us and provide your name and full postal address including post code. It is also advisable to let us have a contact telephone number.
Listeners using our free postal service can look forward to receiving a padded plastic wallet every week containing a compact cassette tape (90 minutes playing time) on which is recorded the current week’s edition of Hamilton Sound. It’s usually delivered on a Saturday morning but some listeners with ML3 Post Codes may even receive their wallet on Fridays (the same day as the Hamilton Advertiser’s publication date).
We can also supply a digital (MP3) version on a USB Flash Disk by the same method. Flash disks are specially formatted for playing on our own HSplayer or can be supplied in a standard format for most other USB media player types. If you would like more information on our HSplayer or general advice on suitable MP3 players please let us know.

Help us spread the word please
We have great difficulty in spreading news of our service to possible new listeners. As you may imagine, traditional methods such as leaflets and newspaper adverts are useless if someone's visual impairment prevents them from reading them and getting the message.
We find the most effective way is by word of mouth and personal recommendation by family and friends. If you know of anyone who may benefit from our service please let them know about us and encourage them to get in touch.
This leaflet about our service and how to apply for it will help you. Please click here to open a PDF document which you can print or save.
Alternatively why not assit your friend or family member to join up via this web site. It only takes a moment to change someone's quality of life for the better.
Our service is free of all charges including postage and totally confidential. We do not use listener's contact details for any other purpose nor do we share listener's information with anyone else.
Click here to apply on-line.
