Lynn Tait’s legacy lives on at this year’s Ladder Club seminars
It will be bittersweet Ladder Club seminars this year (19 and 20 September); the first without founder Lynn Tait. As the bookings grow, The Ladder Club team is busy working away behind the scenes to make this year’s seminar sessions something Lynn would be really proud of.
Among the top speakers to have already pledged their support include John and Jennie Procter, co-founders of Scribbler, Andrea Pinder, co-owner of Unit 7 card shops and, all the way from Sydney, Jenny Cummins, md of McMillan Cards, a major Australian distributor of UK publishers. Leading names from the publishing world, including Wendy Jones-Blackett, co-founder of the eponymous publisher; Megan Purdie, founder of Megan Claire; Jessica Hogarth of Jessica Hogarth Designs; Ged Mace, md of The Art File and Jeremy Corner, md of Blue Eyed Sun will also be sharing their knowledge and giving invaluable tips at the seminars.
“Lynn was such an inspiration to us all at the Ladder Club, and it’s so important that we keep up the amazing work she did with new publishers,” says PG’s Jakki Brown, who co-founded The Ladder Club with Lyn. “Lynn and I did a lot of work on this year’s seminar programme earlier this year, plus the dedicated supplier sponsors have been working on a highly tuned introduction to the rudiments of greeting card production for the newbies on the first day.”
The two one day seminars will take place on Tuesday 19 September and Wednesday 20 September, taking place at The Ladder Club’s ‘spiritual home’ of the Cliffs Pavilion, Westcliff on Sea, Essex.
Cost of attending each day is £65 (including VAT), including lunch and refreshments.
