Steve,
are you not marketing secretary? Why don't you try and use your role to raise money for "visually handicapped" players? You are obviously passionate about the issue, so why don't you try exploring that avenue? Or, since you raised it, try use some money you've already brought in?
I've heard that you have achieved sponsorship to go to tournaments before, so surely a few hundred quid for a couple of clocks isn't too hard?
RE David's point, I agree. It does seem that 140 pounds for a piece of equipment that can only be used by two players seems excessive. If more handicapped players were about then the issue changes, as David pointed out.
PS. I put "visually handicapped" in quotes as I think this applied so many disabilities, a similar argument exists.
