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

In the meantime

Quick straw poll - Looking at the posters currently on my noticeboard. Well done Old Mill's Gaslight, Cinderella on Ice, Page of Wand's John and Jen, Stirling's Sing On, Melville's A Chorus line, Garrick's Amigos and Playlovers' bare, all of which announce 2008 on poster or flyer. (I tend to pin up the smallest version) There are about 15 other shows up there (most but not all pro) - all coming up soon (I've just cleaned the board) with no year on the poster. We seem to be just passing overall with the community shows. Keep working at it Norma. Progress is being made.
