SPONSORSHIP 
The Sponsors
More and more of us these days have
access to the Internet and the World Wide Web. The PJCEA has been quick to grasp the
opportunities they offer, both for improved communication and the dissemination of
information. Most PJCEA Council officers now have access to email, and the PJCEA receives
many enquiries via its website. I continue to receive much positive feedback -
www.pjcea.org.uk is good PR.
Typically, the newsletter is
published on the website long before it appears on the doorstep and I look forward to a
time when it will no longer be necessary to produce and distribute a paper copy. Im
sure Stella Koenick, who does all the photocopying, collating, stapling, address
labelling, stamping and mailing, will agree!
Twelve months ago I suggested that
individuals might like to sponsor the then nascent PJCEA website. Those who gave, unless
having expressed a wish to the contrary, were written to a "book of names". You
can see this at www.pjcea.org.uk/sponsors/sponsors.htm. I am now calling for donations for
the two-year period 2003-04.
Having our own website is relatively
inexpensive, not least because I am happy to give freely of my time and expertise. There
are, however, some associated costs viz domain name registration and web space. A fully
detailed report was submitted to Council in May 2000.
I met these costs initially, so as to
get the site going, but I will not be able to do so indefinitely. Any excess monies go to
community funds. I will make up any shortfall. Amounts can be as little or as much as you
want. Every little bit helps. Cheques should be made payable to the PJCEA and addressed to
me, Byron Simmonds at 3 School Cottages, Walnut Hill, Surlingham Norwich NR14 7DQ. All
donations received will be personally acknowledged.
