Alison,I'm just very sorry I won't make it to Sight Village again this year because I'd love to have dropped by ...
As for the wash-out, I can only say that I appreciate how hard you're all trying ...
I just wish I had a few more brainwaves on this one too ... <Smiles> -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "Long, Alison" <Alison.Long@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 3:46 PM Subject: [access-uk] Penfriend laundry labels and what's new at Sight Village
Hi, I think John mentioned last week that we were hoping to have some news on the Penfriend laundry labels at Sight Village. Unfortunately the four different samples of labels might be good enough for the defence industry, but they were literally a wash out for us. So, we're back to the drawing board, but it's still top of our list of projects. We always get asked what's new this year at Sight Village. We have some dedicated Sight Village webpages where you can get a full list of products on display <http://rnib.org.uk/sightvillage> . We are also hosting a number of seminar sessions, and you can find out more about them on the webpages too. There will even be a bit of cake at the 11.00 session, but we're not telling too many people about that! This year we have some space dedicated to Apple products, so for those who haven't managed to get their hands on the new iPad and other Apple goodies, then come along and have a play! Improving accessibility - for the first time we're trialling the use of RNIB's PenFriend so you can find out for yourself what's located on each table. We've also included an audio booth which we're hoping will help address some of the noise issues that some of us have at these big events. It will provide an opportunity to sit down at a sound box with a talking or audio product to hear it for yourself without the noise from the crowd. For those who manage to get there, it would be great to have your feedback on what works (or doesn't). Hope to see you next week.
