After the discussion earlier, I asked Terry Robinson from
Describe Online if he'd like to comment.

Here is his message, which you will note includes a link to
last year's Sight Village information.

George.

Hi George,

Many thanks for forwarding this message onto me, as I'm not
currently subscribed to the Access-UK list.

This is almost exactly the service we've provided for five
years now. We don't go so far as assigning co-ordinates to
each stand, we believe this would confuse more people than
it would help. We've even received some flack over the years
for referring to compass points, even though these permeate
our daily lives.

What we do...

We provide an online guide to the exhibition which tells
visitors how to reach the venue via private and public
transport, what the venue is like, in terms of its layout,
where the exhibition is established within the building and
where each stand is located within that space.

We include a description of each room and then describe the
layout of the exhibition within that space. So, this
satisfies Peter's request without going into co-ordinates.

I'm please to announce that We've secured verbal agreement
to provide the online catalogue for the exhibition this
year, in collaboration with Queen Alexandra College. In the
past, we've provided the online way finding guide whilst QAC
have provided the catalogue. This has led to duplication
between us and much confusion amongst visitors and
exhibitors alike, as to who was saying and publishing what.
Hopefully, from now on, QAC will provide its marketing
information for the exhibition as a whole whilst we provide
the online catalogue.

I've left our guide to Sight Village 2005 on the Internet
for demonstration purposes, though it's not linked from our
home page. Please visit
www.describe-online.com/sight-village/

My thanks to George for drawing this query to my attention.
I'll arrange for suitable publicity to announce when we've
started publishing information for this year's exhibition. I
hope this will be sooner, rather than later, well in advance
of the print literature.

Cheers,

Terry Robinson
