Where are they now?
It appears April, May & June’s monthly newsletters have become collectors items. The fact there was a shorter print run than normal has led to a shortage of copies.
It was rumoured an original signed May copy changed hands at Sothebys last month for a six figure sum. The buyer wishes to remain anonymous but it is believed to be a private collector living in America.
John Ryan
I am sad to say John has decided to leave Mr Carpet. He will still be working in Fulham for Chelsea flooring in Dawes Road. I am pleased to say that John has agreed to come to the racing to make it also his leaving drink. I am sure you all join with me in wishing him well with his new career.

Sports & Social Fund

The first outing sponsored by the new sports and social fund takes place on July 4th.
Our thanks to Andy for all his help and hard work in organising this, the first of many outings. The total fund to date at the end of May was over £1500. That figure was before the cost of the Horse racing has been deducted. I will report on the state of play next month.
We are still looking for ideas for future outings so I look forward to hearing from you.

One benefit of using your newsletter as a promotional tool is that you can reuse content from other marketing materials, such as press releases, market studies, and reports.
While your main goal of distributing a newsletter might be to sell your product or service, the key to a successful newsletter is making it useful to your readers.
A great way to add useful content to your newsletter is to develop and write your own articles, or include a calendar of upcoming events or a special offer that promotes a new product.
You can also research articles or find “filler” articles by accessing the World Wide Web. You can write about a variety of topics but try to keep your articles short.
Much of the content you put in your newsletter can also be used for your Web site. Microsoft Publisher offers a simple way to convert your newsletter to a Web publication. So, when you’re finished writing your newsletter, convert it to a Web site and post it.

This story can fit 75-125 words.
Selecting pictures or graphics is an important part of adding content to your newsletter.
Think about your article and ask yourself if the picture supports or enhances the message you’re trying to convey. Avoid selecting images that appear to be out of context.
Microsoft Publisher includes thousands of clip art images from which you can choose and import into your newsletter. There are also several tools you can use to draw shapes and symbols.
Once you have chosen an image, place it close to the article. Be sure to place the caption of the image near the image.

This story can fit 100-150 words.
The subject matter that appears in newsletters is virtually endless. You can include stories that focus on current technologies or innovations in your field.
You may also want to note business or economic trends, or make predictions for your customers or clients.
If the newsletter is distributed internally, you might comment upon new procedures or improvements to the business. Sales figures or earnings will show how your business is growing.
Some newsletters include a column that is updated every issue, for instance, an advice column, a book review, a letter from the president, or an editorial. You can also profile new employees or top customers or vendors.

Warehouse News
Richard is now in overall charge of the warehouse with Barry assisting him. During the last week in June I have spent most of my time in Head Office. I am making myself available for Richard if required but he can stamp his own authority on the job if I am not around as much.
He passed his first test (28 rolls of stock carpet delivered in 2 days) and he managed to get all but 1 roll away in the racks.
WELL DONE Richard & Barry.
