Arrangements
for contacting Ann with your WEN/news sheet
items!
is primarily a
space for adults to work, meet and occasionally
socialise in! There is a designated spacious
work area with the following equipment:
Risograph
machine – used for most of our printing
Computer
compatible printer, scanner and copier
A4
laminating machine
A4/A3
laminating machine
Paper
folding machine
Paper
shredder
Paper
trimmer
Large desk
with comfy office chair
Booklet
stapler
Radio/tape/CD player
Kettle!
The ‘social’
side of the office is set up comfortably with
armchairs, standard lamps, storage bench and
extra cushions for seating.
It also has a
small computer desk where people can use
their laptops or just a notebook and pen!
NB
Children visiting the office mustbe accompanied by an adult – this is
due to the office area being organised
efficiently for parish work as well as the
obvious health and safety issues.
The Grand Plan…
is to start by
having a regular ‘opening time’ on a Wednesday
each week plus the occasional Saturday morning.
The idea is that people can just drop in for
coffee and a chat – relax or perhaps help out…
The next step
will be to put together a programme of
‘activities’ for each Wednesday or Saturday.
These activities might consist of learning to
use our office equipment, a new skill or taking
part in a discussion…
A store of
raffle prizes has already been started so that
there is a ‘pool’ to be drawn on. It is also
hoped to set up a ‘Bring & Buy’ table in the
office to raise funds…any other such ideas will
be welcomed!
The first such
opening will be on Wednesday 15th
June from 10am to about 12noon
(this time might be extended on occasions eg
when the parish Christmas card is being
bundled).
As things get
established, a monthly programme will be
published in the weekly sheet and monthly news
sheet.
Now we have a
more professional workspace for the parish it is
time to revise the arrangements for contacting
the Communications Officer(s?). These will be as
follows:
Printing of
the weekly/monthly sheets will take place on
Wednesdays from
WEDNESDAY 15TH JUNE.
All items
for the weekly/monthly sheets will need to
be received by 7pm on
Tuesdays.
Items can be emailed
to office@exningparishchurch.net
in Arial 10 together with any
attached files as a Word
doc in the same if at all possible.
A parish email address is coming…
Contact may
be made by phone 01353 667949
on Tuesdays – please leave a
message if necessary. It is hoped we will
have an office phone in the future.
Letters/notes
may be left in the designated baskets at the
back of each church. This is safer than
handing them to the present CO at events or
after services!
A table of
charges
for printing, laminating etc is being drawn
up – this will be for non-parish work.
All
deliveries
of paper etc to be made direct to the office
rather than via Ely!
Very Urgent Plea from the
Office to all E-mailers!
If you need to send me a file
containing an insert of any sort for the WEN, please, please, please
ensure that it is in a WORD* format
that can be incorporated easily (& quickly!)
into the existing format of the WEN!
(*Please note that if you use Microsoft Works
{which is often supplied with new computers} you
need to save the document as a a Word file .doc
rather than Word for Works -- they may sound the
same but they are incompatible!: JRS)
Helpful Info:
FONT – Arial
FONT SIZE –
10,11 OR 12 (DEPENDING ON NATURE OF
INSERT/FIT)
Arial is the
font of choice – it is widely recommended due to
it being easily ‘accessed’ by the majority of
readers. The above orientation and the
application of 2 pages per sheet, means that the
‘booklet’ form of the WEN can be sorted and
printed with ease. It also helps if emails are
typed in Arial 10…and sent to the office
website…
In the future, I
am afraid that I will not be able to promise
that I can sort these issues out –
unfortunately, I DO NOT have the time,
technological know-how or equipment! It is very
draining as well as frustrating!
Of course, you
can always present me with your correct
originals, which I will then ‘print off’…Thank
you for your help and continued
support. Ann Mc
