Five-a-side
Charlton Athletic Deaf Football Club are staging a five-a-side tournament for men and women on Saturday 16 July at Powerleague Catford, Private Bank Sports Ground, Canadian Avenue, London, SE6. The nearest British Rail stations are Catford and Catford Bridge, or there are plenty of buses! Registration takes place at 10am, with kick-off at 11am.

Entry fee is £35 for a team of seven players. After the tournament there will be a party starting at 7pm with a BBQ, entry £6.

Don't be conned!
If you're thinking of supporting a campaign by wearing a wristband, like the Make Poverty History bands – then make sure you buy an official one, so that the money goes to the charity you want to support. Fake wristbands are being sold for inflated prices, and there's no way to check the money is going where it should. For example, Nike's anti-racism wristband should sell at £1.50 but is being sold for up to £8.99 online, and Radio 1's 'Beat Bullying' blue bands – which were distributed free! – have sold for up to £18.


Deaf Aware bands
One new band you can be sure is real is the latest 'Deaf Aware' wristband, just released by Colchester Deaf Football Club and Colchester YMCA. Buy yours now before supplies run out!

Partytime
For you party animals out there, Club Attitude, part of Artsline, will be hosting a party at Bar Academy in London this Wednesday. Performances will be sign-language interpreted. All profits go to 'Attitude is Everything', a campaign to improve access to venues and festivals for disabled and deaf artists and audiences.

Correction
Some of you may have noticed that on the website last week we transplanted the 2005 Deaflympics from Melbourne all the way up to Montreal and also that there were some captioning errors. The web editor has promised to try harder.
