On Wednesday, we held our Annual General Meeting to discuss past achievements and future goals. We finished with a slideshow of our favourite Prepress memories from the past year.

Afterwards we tucked into a delightful spread from Heaven Scent!🥪

This morning, we attended Algo Business Centre's Macmillan Coffee Morning, a fundraiser to support people living with cancer.💚

We are happy to have contributed towards a very worthwhile cause, and the cakes, made by the centre's expert bakers, deserve a special mention!🍰

Back in August, Prepressers got together for another walk!

They took a circular woodland route from Pitlochry's centre, passing the dam and looping around Loch Faskally.

Along the way, they skimmed stones and took in some breathtaking sights.🏞️ #PrepressPeople #PrepressOutings

They say books are the food of the soul, but we were too hungry for our favourite foods to stay on the page!

On Wednesday, Prepressers old and new came together for a picnic of ‘foods from fiction’.

Can you identify the works that inspired our literary lunch?🧀🍞🧁

The courtroom-style format, where the audience became the jury, made this event one to remember. The cases did an excellent job of highlighting the responsibilities that directors carry and the importance of respecting both the law and principles of good governance.

Last week, Prepressers attended Publishing Scotland's summer drinks reception, bidding farewell to outgoing CEO Marion Sinclair and celebrating BookSource's 30th anniversary. It was lovely to hear about two very inspiring journeys while networking over cake.🎂 #PrepressOutings

Yesterday some of our Prepressers took to the Tay for a kayaking tour of Perth!🛶

They paddled from Willowgate right into the city centre, enjoyed spectacular views of Moncreiffe Island and even had time for a dip in the water at sunset.🌇 #PrepressPeople #PrepressOutings

This decision has not been taken lightly; interns are a huge part of Prepress Projects, and many go on to work with us as Project Editors. We are proud to be able to provide a pathway for young people to enter the publishing industry. (2/3)
