There has been another slight delay as the duplication centre want the artwork sent as CMYK and there I was expecting them delivered tomorrow.
I have no idea what CMYK is so have sent as a jpeg and gif. Hoping these will be OK, if not can someone explain what CMYK is?
I have the artwork on a DVD.

I'm no expert on printing matters, but if you are using photoshop I reckon you can sort this out thusly:

Open your artwork in the best quality you have available
Go to the menu bar at the top
select Edit/Convert to Profile

In the box that pops up theres a menu thingy called Destination Space
choose "Working CMYK - SWOP (coated), 20%, GCR, Medium"
(this should be near the top of the list)

Hit "OK"

Save your file.

If you aren't using photoshop then you may have to do something like Image/Mode/CMYK

Or post it over to me and I'll do my best

CMYK stands for Cyan Magenta Yellow Key

David, Thnaks for that, saved as photoshop default 4 CMYK. Just sending it over, hopefully that will sort it out.

Am supposed to be doing my expenses and numerous other paperwork items that need finishing by the end of the week but instead I am in balloon heaven watching my BAG video!!!!!  Thanks Graham for sending out - Its fantastic!  If anyone is sitting on the fence regarding joining - the videos alone are worth the money without the actual days.  Can't wait for the November care and share days!

If anyone has tried to join the forum in the past 5 days, sorry I have not activated your accounts yet but I have been away working at a magic convention in Great Yarmouth.
Will sort them out tomorrow for you.

I sent a mass email out last night with details about the Manchester day next week and the Sutton two day event with Ed Chee on the 1st/2nd Nov.

I did mention we are offering discounted rates for BAG membership till the end of the year, the options are to pay the full fee £120 and to get all three DVD's that are in the BAG collection this year,

1, Colin Myles/Shirley Ray
2, Patrick Van de Ven
3, Ed Chee

and you can attend the five days that are left on membership till the end of Marh. Or option two is,

Pay £60, attend the remaining five days for this year and get DVD 3, Ed Chee

I am trying to get three more members by the end of the year to win by bet with Thelma that we would have 50 members by the end of 2012.
The bet was taken the early part of last year, it is only for £10 but if I do win I will buy some lottery tickets and donate some if not all the winnings to the club.
