What better way to reward your hard working staff than to give them a mug with their own mug on it? With thanks to Minuteman Press in Poundbury for turning them round so quickly, and at a great price too! Everybody was so pleased with them.

This is desperately sad. The Gorge Cafe was a popular place and had a plaque on the wall as the building was where Thomas Hardy worked as an architect.

We are decorating an elephant for Weldmar Hospice's Stampede by the Sea and need help!
Nellies will be sold for the hospice, so what would raise the most cash? Our cartoonist is exceptional at faces, so who would be most popular? Music legends? Sitcom characters? Or somat else?
