The making of ‘St Tudy Treats’
	First the recipes were collected, then sorted into the twelve sections. Soups, Starters, Fish, Poultry & Game, Meat Dishes, Veggie Dishes Pasta & Savouries, Puddings, Cakes, Bread & Biscuits, Jams & Confectionary, Drinks.
They were all entered on the computer, proof read (Jane & Bob did some of this during a lull at an art show!) corrected, proof read again and finally the master was prepared ready for printing on the photocopier by Sue and Margaret (3 hours a day for two weeks!) The pages were then taken to Bodmin where they were cut by Phoenix Print.
	Jane produced and printed the pictures for the front cover and prepared master copies of her black & white drawings which could then be copied on the photocopier at the same time as the text.
Pamela Le Bailly laminated all the front and back covers — over 800
	Once the pages were cut and the covers laminated, the binding could begin. Sue punched the pages using the binding machine kindly loaned to us by St Tudy School.
Bev then used the other machine, which had been loaned to us by John & Dianne Bartlett, to thread the pages on the plastic ‘combs’, and Margaret acted as our Quality Controller, checking that the books were correct.
	John trimmed the ‘combs’. At this point we had an idea about using the ‘spare bits’, seemed a pity to waste them. Why not use them to make notepads?
Sue had some spare scrap paper so this was cut up, punched and bound, covers designed, using some of Jane’s pictures, and this was the result of our labours!
