Each issue will be a miscellany of material submitted by branch members from all around the world. However, the emphasis should be very firmly placed on material which is informative, entertaining and interesting to people beyond the branch where the material originated. So, for instance, London Ivy would probably NOT want to publish an item headed “One hundred dollars raised at the cake stall for branch funds!” but would be interested in an account of some funny incident which happened while serving cake, or perhaps some comparison between a cake sold and Miss Havisham’s wedding cake. When newspaper cuttings are submitted, the rule must again be that they should have some interest beyond the local branch – a cutting about a branch members in Victorian dress would not in general be interesting enough, but if it included a “nugget” which related the dress to Dickens’s works, or if someone split their tights while dressed as Mr Pickwick, it might well be worth a mention.
