19.01.2022 On the Twelfth day of Techmas we’d like to share with you AT ideas for people who love to golf (and the merriest of Christmases). Do you have a friend or loved one who is a mad golfer, who gets up at the crack of dawn to walk 18 holes and regales you with stories of their perfect drive down the fairway, why not look at a Golf Ball Shag Tube? The Golf Ball Shag Tube is a clear, plastic bag that can hold upward of twenty golf balls. The balls can be picked up by a tube attach...ed to the bag, eliminating the need for bending or squatting. For all the information about the Golf Ball Shag Tube visit Indigo’s National Equipment database (NED) https://ilcaustralia.org.au/products/14818 , and if you have more AT questions or queries please contact our friendly team on (08) 9381 0600 or visit our website: www.indigosolutions.org.au IMAGE: Person in grey pants holding a red Golf Ball Shag tube on green turf with five golf balls on the ground.

18.01.2022 On the Eleventh day of Techmas we’d like to share with you AT ideas so you don’t miss out on those important events (and all the happiness the season can hold). Like the idea of waking up and knowing immediately the day, date and time, why not look at a Calendar Clock such as the DayClox Digital Calendar Day Clock? This digital clock displays the day, date, and time in various screen options. It can display the time in 12 or 24hr time, with an English or American date displa...y. Written language can be displayed in eight languages. The display can be dimmed, and a range of frame designs are available. For all the information about a Calendar clock visit Indigo’s National Equipment database (NED) https://ilcaustralia.org.au/products/18309 , and if you have more AT questions or queries please contact our friendly team on (08) 9381 0600 or visit our website: www.indigosolutions.org.au IMAGE: White calendar clock with black screen and white display on a table with a dado rail and picture in the background
