G. Wilde, 5a.

Last September C. Williams and myself took over the running of the society from its founder-members. Our office was the tiny store room of the metal workshop which offered little storage space for the type and stationery and even less for working space. Therefore, when Mr. Tufnell offered us his Technical Drawing Office store room we jumped at the Opportunity, and the change of abode was made in January 1964.

Up to the change-over and after, the steady flow of clients and orders came to our premises, and even now myself and the "apprentices", A. Burchill and G. Borgeat, both of 3a, never have a free lunch break.

I have noticed since last year how much the society is limited by our shortage in variety of type-face. We can, however, and do satisfy most people's wishes. But I take this opportunity to ask for your support. If you or any of your friends have type at home would you please contact me, for I shall be only too pleased to have it.

Returning to the society’s diary, just before last Easter, it was suggested that we should take on "apprentices" who would succeed us. A number of volunteers presented themselves to us and of them only the two above were satisfactory. Since then, C. Williams has left the school but the apprentices have proved themselves very competent.

Last term, we received the gift of much second-hand type and equipment through a contact of Mr. Tufnell, who has been a great help to the society and whom I now thank sincerely.

Again this term our order book has been filling, but I hope that if you or your parents and friends want anything printed, we shall be given the assignment. The society guarantees you prompt service and a high standard of printing.
