SUMMARY:Feel The Force Day
DESCRIPTION:Dear Cosplay Group\,\nI hope you don't mind me getting in touch
 .\nI'd like to invite you to be part of Feel The Force Day\, taking place 
 at Peterborough Cathedral on Saturday 5th September.\nFeel The Force Day i
 sn't just another convention.\nIt is the world's only fully accessible fil
 m and TV convention\, created especially for disabled people and adults wi
 th learning disabilities. Every year hundreds of costumers from across the
  UK give their time to help create an experience that many of our visitors
  simply can't get anywhere else.\nFor some people\, this is the biggest da
 y of their year.\nFor others\, it's the only event they'll attend.\nWhat m
 akes Feel The Force Day different is that accessibility isn't something we
 've added on. It's the reason the event exists.\nOne of the most powerful 
 parts of the day happens quietly.\nA blind visitor reaches out and feels D
 arth Vader's helmet for the very first time.\nSomeone discovers how huge a
  Stormtrooper really is.\nA child who has only ever heard Doctor Who on te
 levision finally understands what the TARDIS\, a Dalek or the Doctor actua
 lly look like.\nYears ago I worked with a blind colleague who listened to 
 Star Wars every single day. He knew every line\, every piece of music and 
 every sound effect.\nYet he had no idea what Darth Vader actually looked l
 ike.\nHe didn't know how tall he was.\nHe didn't know what his helmet felt
  like.\nHe didn't know what a droid looked like.\nThat conversation comple
 tely changed the way I thought about accessibility.\nAt Feel The Force Day
 \, our visitors don't just look at costumes.\nThey explore them.\nThey dis
 cover different materials\, textures\, armour\, capes\, masks and props th
 rough touch. They begin to build a picture of characters they've loved for
  years but have never truly been able to experience.\nOne of our regular v
 isitors\, Jimmy\, who is both deaf and blind\, spent time feeling the orig
 inal Jabba the Hutt faceplate. It suddenly helped him understand the enorm
 ous size of the character and how so many puppeteers worked together to br
 ing him to life.\nMoments like that happen all day.\nThat is why your cost
 ume matters.\nWe're proud to welcome every genre.\nStar Wars.\nMarvel.\nDC
 .\nDoctor Who.\nGhostbusters.\nDisney.\nGaming.\nAnime.\nHorror.\nScience 
 fiction.\nFantasy.\nIf someone loves the character\, we want them to have 
 the chance to experience it.\nWe're looking for high quality costumes and 
 passionate people who understand that\, for one day\, they aren't simply w
 earing a costume.\nThey're helping someone experience a character for the 
 first time.\nMany of our visitors will ask permission to touch parts of yo
 ur costume. This isn't about taking photographs.\nIt's about learning.\nUn
 derstanding.\nMaking film and television accessible in a way that simply i
 sn't possible anywhere else.\nYou'll be looked after throughout the day wi
 th complimentary food and drinks\, there is no admission charge for costum
 ers\, and you'll become part of one of the most rewarding events you'll ev
 er attend.\nMany costumers tell us they arrive expecting to entertain peop
 le.\nThey leave feeling like they've changed someone's life.\nIf you'd lik
 e to join us\, we'd love to hear from you.\nYou can register as a cosplay 
 volunteer at:\nwww.feeltheforceday.com (http://www.feeltheforceday.com/)\n
 If you'd like to find out more or have any questions\, please don't hesita
