Website Solutions & Print Design in Norfolk
This booklet started off as separate sheets per outing when I first worked on it in 1987! Here we are 31 years later and still producing this for North Walsham based Nenta Traintours but it’s now a glossy, full colour 40 page booklet (and has been for many years). Beautifully printed by Barnwell Print of Aylsham.
I don’t just produce artwork for amazing rockabilly bands and fascinating old photos. This lovely, full colour calendar is produced every year on behalf of the gas companies who share the Bacton Gas Terminals in Norfolk. Calendars are given to all the residents of the surrounding villages as a thank you for tollerating a huge gas terminal in their back garden! This was always produced, completely in-house, by Express Printing for whom I used to work, but since the closure of Express Printing’s print department I produce the artwork, collaborating with the lovely Jane Bayley from “Partridge Associates” in Aylsham and then it is printed by Barnwell Print Limited, also in Aylsham, who produce a beautiful quality job each time and are a joy to work with. 3,000 of these calendars are printed each year and feature really lovely photos from across Norfolk by some of the county’s top photographers. I have friends and family with nothing to do with the Bacton area who ask for copies of this every year and have done for years! We must have produced this for 15 years, if not more!
The 2018 North Walsham and District Community Archive calendar has been delivered to my office from the printers today and looks lovely as always. This is the third year I have had the privilege to produce the calendar which has become a well loved and integral part of the town. We had lots of support from local businesses sponsoring the production and many calendars pre-ordered. A real community project.
Once again I have produced the calendar for the North Walsham & District Community Archive. This calendar is always popular with the local community and has quickly became one of the highlights of the local community. This year the archive group decided to open the calendar up to local businesses to sponsor months which allowed the group to reduce the sale price of the calendar. The beautiful, hi resolution, photographs are drawn from the North Walsham & District Community Archive’s extensive collection of over 10,000 local photographs spanning almost 150 years! Each photo is litho printed to as high a standard as possible and presented in a 2 colour design. It is a privilege for me to be so involved with the local community and in projects which will become part of the town’s history just as the photos in this calendar are now. The sales of this calendar also raise money for the group to continue their tirelss work to safeguard North Walsham’s heritage.
