Bringing together kindred spirits in publishing, printing and the graphic arts
NEXT EVENT
Prospective New Members Evening
Tuesday 3 June 2025, The Artworkers’ Guild, 6:30pm
As a Society, we are lucky to have wonderful and inspiring members from the worlds of Publishing, Editorial, Typography, Design, Illustration and Print. And we would like more of them!
In recent years our membership numbers have decreased, from around 270 in 2005, to our current tally of about 170.
One rule of the Society which may be a small barrier to more members being introduced, is that potential new members attend at least one luncheon or evening meeting (preferably two) prior to nomination, as the guest of a current member. As costs have unavoidably increased, this has become a significant outlay.
In light of this, we have devised our Prospective New Members Evening – a heavily subsidised event costing just £10 per ticket. Simply bring along at least one prospective new member – ideally more! (Members can attend without a guest, at a price of £20, but priority will be given to members with guests.)
The evening’s presentations will be in the style of a PechaKucha* event: five eminent speakers from within the Society will talk, representing the wide and varied interests that the Society embraces. It promises to be a very enjoyable and lively evening, and is the perfect opportunity to introduce kindred spirits to the Society.
*PechaKucha (Japanese for ‘chit chat’) is a presentation format that originated in Tokyo. Presenters have 20 slides, each shown for 20 seconds. The slides advance automatically, so presenters cannot go back or skip slides – each presentation lasts just 400 seconds.
