Something for the Archives

Spotting early on that the Scarecrow Weekend was going to be a resounding success I spent a fair bit of time photographing the scarecrows for posterity.

I have now produced a 20 page full colour booklet that includes at least one photograph of every scarecrow that I could find.  The cost of printing them myself is horrendous (they would come out at £10 each), but Prontaprint in Stratford can produce them for something a good deal more reasonable.

I am therefore seeking orders for this booklet, and the number of orders I get will determine the price!  If only 10 people order then the price will be £5, falling to £3.50 if 20 of you want a copy and £3 if I can drum up sales of 30.

£3 is little more than the price of a pint of beer, and considerably less than a packet of fags, so surely some of you out there are interested.

On the other hand, for those with computers and/or DVD players, I can offer a VideoCD which will display the same images either on your computer screen or television set.  These are on offer at £1 each, surely the snip of the year.

If you are interested, please contact me either by a note through the door at Karibu, by 'phone on 01295680286 or email to news-editor @ oxhill.org.uk.  I shall close the order file at midnight on Friday 22 July and then set about producing the appropriate number of copies for delivery – and, at that stage only, asking for payment!  Until then the price of a booklet will not be known.
