Book – Gillian had found a self-publishing web site www.lulu.com. Material would be sent in pdf format. Will print exactly number of copies required/ordered. Would have isbn number and can be sold/bought on Amazon. A5 black and white with colour cover would cost ~£4-£5. Agreed to proceed with this. Suggested that book should be sold at ~£6.99 per copy.
Gillian had assembled much of the material in a folder and handed out a draft table of contents. Most of the information was collected, but it needed pulling together and linking. Agreed that a subcommittee should be set up to pull the material together, find missing bits and write the links. Subcommittee: Gillian, Maggie, Pamela, Noreen, Linda. The group will meet on August 21st 2008 at Maggie’s house. | Gillian & Sub-Committee |
Next meeting of MCLGA Centenary Committee scheduled for Wednesday September 3rd 2008 at 19:30 at 6 Hallhead Road. |
