At an Autumn Zoom meeting of the Communications Subcommittee, a suggestion came up of publishing a u3a Christmas Card Gallery on the website. If that idea appeals to you, please do get creative and produce a ‘Christmas Card’ using your talents and skills in painting, drawing, cartooning, textiles and other crafts, hand-made cards etc. Then just send a photo of it to the Web Team for publication. See those we have already received in our Christmas Card Gallery..
For practical and technical reasons, there have to be a few guidelines:
- it should be your own work, or you’ll need to check that included photos, clipart etc are free of copyright
- it should be a single page
- send in your digital ‘card’ as an attachment in an email to webteam@aughton-ormskirk-u3a.co.uk if you already have it stored electronically (or take a photo or scan it and send that file)
- greetings text can be included in the image on the page and / or on the gallery ‘caption’ area which will appear below the card in the gallery. Include your caption in the email message when you send in your card file attachment
- the recipient(s) of the greetings should not be personal or individual, though the sender(s), ie the card maker(s), can name or identify themselves as they wish
To further explain this last point ……. we are looking only for u3a-related greetings to recipients at the Group / Committee / u3a friends level. Therefore suitable greetings (appearing on card or caption or between both might be along the lines of:
- “Happy Christmas to members of the Such-and-Such Group from Josephine Bloggs”
- “Joe Bloggs sends Best Wishes to all his u3a Friends”
- “Christmas Greetings from the Web Team to our Website Visitors”
For further guidance, please ontact: webteam@aughton-ormskirk-u3a.co.uk
