@CllrJoannaWest @shakespiller Just seen this on Facebook. facebook.com/56119176395222…
@CllrJoannaWest @shakespiller This is a shame to hear. Best thing we can advise is check the signature or IBSL websites for registered centres. Or put a post of the Derby BSL practice group Facebook group who might be able to help.
Thank you all for your support for our very first #DerbySignfest in 2019, see you in 2020! 🎉🥳

@jill_derby @DerbyCC @dalsderby There is definitely a Facebook page which advertises them
@jill_derby @DerbyCC @dalsderby There is a couple of practice groups in Derby. I think they are advertised on Derby BSL Practice Group
@DeafinitelyW Thank you 😊 and thank you for being part of it!! X
@CllrJoannaWest Ah thank you. We hoping to run a mini fest next year for a weekend, is keep your eyes peeled 😁
