Publish and be damned!
The latest edition of Roundup is coming off the press as I write. You can view the pdf online via the Roundup tab. It features two interviews: one with Kaite O'Reilly, the author of In Water I'm Weightless and another with Anne Wilkins, Eisteddfod-winning singer. We've also got viewpoints on access from Martin Griffiths and Julie Thomas. Well worth a read!

Finally dipping my toe in the murky waters of Twitter (I am nearly 50 and highly cynical, you understand). I hope to get some buttons sorted here sometime in the week. In the meantime, you can follow us @VisionInWales.
Site review
Been spending some time going through material on the site and making a few structural changes. We'll now be featuring a few news articles on the home page to keep it alive. You can still get all the articles via links in the sidebar, or go to the Sylw tab to get them grouped by theme.
I'll be looking to create a more dynamic updating of individual areas. For instance, there'll be an area for consultations that gets fed by new items put in by our volunteer, Ann.
Also, you can expect a large information portal to become a foreground feature of the site that will serve to direct visitors to the wide diversity of services, support and information that exists out there. We're getting close to having the structure in place and Ann is busy gathering the information to populate what we believe will be a very useful resource for anyone working in the sector and for individuals seeking information on what help is available.
Also, you may have noticed we've changed our name!
No Go Britain
Had a great time at ITN studios with Julie T. Jon Snow did a great job of chairing a discussion between Julie, two other disabled transport users and three transport bosses. you can view the discussion at the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/nogobritain
Accessible Transport
I shall be accompanying Julie Thomas on a trip to the ITN studios for her appearance on Jon Snow's news show tonight at 7pm. There shall be a discussion on accessible public transport. Hopefully, the transport to get there and back again will be accessible.
