AYRS announces

..........................

WANTED - experienced DTP team to help with Catalyst

Two roles to be filled (could be one or two (or more) people):
1. Someone with sufficient nautical science knowledge to be able to sort the good from the rubbish and discard the perpetual motion schemes, endless patience and tact.
2. Someone with experience with professional-quality DTP software (Pagemaker, In-Design or Quark, and preferably Acrobat), and a flair for producing attractive publications.
Both need to be self-driven and able to commit to producing a magazine on a quarterly schedule.
Please contact Graeme Ward, chairman@ayrs.org in the first instance.



FORTHCOMING EVENTS OF INTEREST

All AYRS members and friends welcome at AYRS meetings.

..........................

AYRS SW England Group Meeting

14.00hrs, 16th March 2013
7 Cross Park Road, Wembury, PL9 0EU

There will be some form of afternoon activity, then some refreshments at about 17:00, then a slightly more formal presentation in the evening, starting about 18:00. Those who are not free for the whole period would be welcome for just the afternoon or the evening. The details of the program are TBA. I have a couple of good possibilities for speakers and a possibility of a visit to a local marine research establishment, but if none of these possibilities come to fruition we will fall back on contributions from attendees in the same way that the AYRS meetings at Thorpe have mostly been conducted. I can say that we have never had any difficulty finding things to talk about at these meetings, it has been more of a difficulty to bring the discussions to a close before bedtime!
