A plea or a gripe-depends where you are

This is a plea which may well sound inconsequential or not worth bothering about and may well bring down the wrath of God on my head but..........

 

To everyone who designs/makes-up/is responsible for Posters

 

Please. Please PLEASE include the year of production in your designs.

Now this may sound obvious/trite/not worth bothering about BUT I do assure you that in time to come when some poor soul is trying to make sense of the archives (which are usually in a mess when some  brave person decides to get them in some kind of order) it saves much frustration and hair-pulling out.

And this is where I get myself into more trouble- the design is not as important as the basic information-WHAT-WHERE-WHEN-HOW MUCH-WHERE DO I GET TICKETS

 

OK off my soap-box

I didn't miss the point....

Sounds good in theory, but as one who has spent many many months in trying to make some sense of order out of 40 years past  of a club's posters with almost no other information to go on, it would have made my life a lot easier to have had the year's dates on them!

Usually at the end of a season everything is shoved into an enveolpe and left somewhere"for sorting out later'' and that generally means years later!!
