Well, that’s the printing for tomorrow, done!
I’ve got to admit, I’ve just had to finish the job in a bit of a rush.
I realised I had to work, tomorrow day time, which is when I’d usually print out things like the answer sheets, in the photo.
Fifteen of them, plus fifteen copies of the table round, lord knows how many flyers, and anything else that occurs to me, should be enough.
Here’s hoping they get all used!
