Inaugural ELP Wayzgoose 2009

This year we decided to organise a festive party for ELP members in the form of a Wayzgoose.  This is a traditional party for members of the printing trade with a lot of drinking going on and a small printed item is made by everyone to keep as a memento of the occasion.  We decided to print our design onto canvas bags so we would have something not just beautiful but useful too (rather like our committee). The design consists of two geese (from Wayzgoose - see?) which we drew as an ‘exquisite corpse’ so each member got to put a little bit of themselves into it. You can see the results below. We’re hoping this will become an annual tradition!
