THE JOURNAL OF THE PLYSU GROUP No. 6 SUMMER, 1972

LARESIDE BIIGO BOOMSThe Bingo Section started inJune. We had an attendance of112 people, which we thoughtwas a very good start. Onemonth later, there were over 220members and we feel that thisis just the beginning. The Bingoitself is paid out in money, of whicha percentage is kept for the WorksBenevolent Fund. Which means thatall monies gained will be used for thegood of the workers at Plysu. First,of course, we have to pay for theequipment.

Bingo is played every Thursdayevening. Doors open at 7 p.m. andwe try to start at 7.45 p.m. We holdtwo sessions, between the sessionswe hold a raffle and serve refresh-ments. We do our best to finish by9.10 p.m. as some people have to gohome by train.

The people in charge arethe SocialClub Committee members. But assome are rather shy in coming, Imust say how grateful we are for thegreat help of non-members RonWilson as Caller, Susan Ruff-Smith,Ella Church, Dora Buckthorpe, LesleyGilks, Rosa Kirkup and last but notleast Eva Dennis, have given us.Because I can assure you all thatnobody receives or expects anypayment for helping.

Now we would like to thank every-one for the support you are givingus and hope you will continue to doso. Those of you who have not beenable to come so far, are cordiallyinvited to do so. All arevery welcome.So come along to the LakesideRestaurant-for, who knows, it maybe your turn to have a win. GoodLuck!

From a customer's viewpoint

RECKITT and COLMANWhy does a customer buy from us and not from a competitor?How canwe improve our service to benefit the manwho paysthe bill?

These are questions that are vital to the Group's future and wherebetter to get the answers than from a top executive of one of ourmost important customers. 50 it was that we approachedMr. LawrieBurgess, M.lnst.P.5., the Purchasing Manager of Reckitt &. ColmanIndustrial Division to get his viewpoint.

Sitting in his office at Divisional head-quarters at High Wycombe, Mr. Burgesssaid: "Firstly, I want to say that the servicewe get from Plysu is as good, if not better,than most of our other suppliers, but fromtime to time irritating errors creep in that canresult in real headaches for us at Reckitt &Colman. I can well understand that they mayseem like very minor points to people atPlysu, but I'm sure that this is simplybecause it is not appreciated what happensto the containers when they arrive at ourmanufacturing plants".

"To go back to the beginning, the decisionto change over to plastic containers fromtin was taken only after very careful con-sideration and initially at least there was adefinite price disadvantage in so doing. Butit was felt within the RCI D marketingdepartment that plastic in general, and thepigmented screenprinted S66 in particular,had the right forward-looking image tomatch our products. We found that byexamining the packaging aspect as awhole, rather than looking just at the con-

tainers, we could minimise the pricedisadvantage".

"As you probably know, the containersare supplied from Woburn Sands in spec-ially designed cartons of four at a timewith perforated flaps already in position, andthere they remain right through filling, capp-ing, palleting, despatching and deliverytothecustomer. This process is essential to keep-ing packaging costs at a competitive level".

"Problems arise when containers in acarton don't match the label on the outside,because of course the first person to beaware of the mistake is our customer".

"When we were mainly producingemulsion floor polishing products, the wronggrade of polish in a container was anirritating but not disastrous mistake. How-ever, as we expand our range of products toinclude highly aggressive cleaners, this sortof mistake can have really serious reper-cussions, and I hope that everyone at Plysuwill do all they can to make sure our con-tainers are correctly printed, correctlypacked, and correctly labelled".

"We go metric in the Spring of next year,and I am very pleased to say that we shallbe going over ~t about the same time, to thenew five-litre Compact container which weconsider to be the best designed on themarket, even when compared with otherscosting more".

'The move over to metric sizes inci-dentally emphasises our export businesswhich is currently active in all the Continen-tal and Scandinavian countries, with regularsupplies going to the Far East too. Try toimagine how we feel when we get a reportfrom Hong Kong that a customer pouredsome of our 'polish' on to a floor only to seeit turn into a gooey mess because what wason the label wasn't in the container".

"One of the reasons for the successfulcollaboration of Plvsu and RCID over thepast few years has, I feel, been due to closeliaison at a high level between both com-panies. John Eastaff and I meet regularly fora hard business discussion every four to sixweeks. I have visited the Woburn Sandsfactory many times and I know how wellorganised and equipped Plysu is to turn outan excellent product, so I hope you won'tthink I'm too carping in my criticism. Thegood relationship between the two comp-anies is going to be all important during theearly 1973 transition from imperial to metricsizes".

"Inevitably during this mid- February toend of March period we are going to becalling for a mixture of sizes and I hope thatour friends at Plysu will bear with us untilApril 1, 1973 when the changeover will becomplete. We anticipate the five-litreCompact take-off will total at least 1'5million in the first year so it's going to meangood business for Plysu once we're overthat difficult period".

"We're also looking forward to intro-ducing the 20-litre R.70. This is a size forwhich we feel there is a big future, and Iam very pleased to see Plysu leading themarket. It is an easily handled and stackedcontainer, good looking and much indemand on the Continent".

"Finally, I should like to emphasise thatour buying philosophy is that value formoney is the prime requirement. Whilst costis important, service and product qualitymatter more".

So there we are, that's what onemajor Plysu customer expects. Nowit's up to us.

KEEPING IN TRIMDear Sir,

Following the dieting article in theWinter edition of the Plysu Peoplemy predicament may be of interest toyou.

Before your diet I was a cheerful,solvent, 16 stone rugby player, withasmall holding of sharesin a brewery,and a petite and understanding wife.

After three weeks of your diet thepositions are reversed. I have aninefficient 15 stone wife who isearning a lot of money at all-inwrestling and whose shares in anationally known fruit juice firm aresoaring to unbelievable heights, Ihavedropped to 8 stones, I am totallyostracised in my rugby club, mybrewery shares have slumped to anall time low and I receive a letter frommy bank manager every day askingthat we revert to the original arrange-ment whereby I bank with them.

This situation has come about dueto the high cost of the vast quantitiesof food required for your diet to-gether with the sadistic exercisesrecommended by you, the like ofwhich have not been seen since thedays of the Keystone Kops.

To obviate domestic reprisals Iwould appreciate the omission of myidentity as I haven't yet found a wayout of a step-over toe hold.

Yours faithfully,Name and address supplied.

(And, with some reluctance,omitted/-Editor).

DANCE DANCE DANCEThere has been no shortage of dances since our last issue, in fact at one pointwe did manage two in one month. So there has been plenty of high steppinghigh spirits going on to the benefit of some very worthy causes. During June,for example, nearly £200 was raised which helped the Social Club Fund makea generous donation to the First Aid Section's new Red Cross detachment.

An added attraction for the Autumndances will be the Disco, the equip-ment for which, is now nearlycomplete.

On ShowatPakexPakex, the international exhi-bition held in London every twoyears at which the PackagingIndustry displays its wares forthe world to see, takes place atOlympia from October 9 to 13this year.

Plysu will be there, of course,showing the new 20 litre R.70,a special purpose 5 gallon R.70,the new Compact 5 litre con-tainer and an impressive displayof how good our screen printingis on standard and special con-tainers.

Two New R.70 Containers

Plysu recently took the lead in theBritish five gallon market with theincreased production capacity of3,000,000 a year, now available atWoburn Sands, and the exhibitionwill be used to introduce two newcontainers 'into the R.70 range.Being shown to the trade for the firsttime at Pakex are the 20 litre versionof the R.70 which has been designedto offer industry an alternative size inthe five gallon market. The 20 litreR.70 offers all the benefits of a bulkcontainer, yet is more lightweightand easier to handle than a fivegallon drum. The object of the largehandle is to make handling easierandanother important point is that whenfilled, it is light enough for women tohandle, too. Although a 20 litre sizeis not new to the U.K. market, Plysuwill be the only company offeringthis size container, produced on fullyautomated production systems.

A special purpose, robust fivegallon R.70, specially strengthenedto provide greater stacking andstorage ability, will also be shown atPakex. This container will stack sixhigh-two high on a pallet threepallets high. It is felt that this con-tainer will provide enormous econ-omies for customers whose products

l{~

need to be stored, but who are notprepared to waste valuable storagespace by the use of containers whichonly stack three or four high.

Both new containers incorporatethe stacking, storage, impact, strengthand large labelling/screen printingarea of the R.70 and are suitable fora variety of liquid packaging needs,from food stuffs to hazardouschemi-cals. The standard R.70 container,in both the five gallon and 25 litreversion will also be shown at Pakex,alongside the 5 gallon/25 litre jerricanand 10 gallon jerrican, which com-plete Plvsu's range of larger sizecontainers.

Versatility of Screen Printing

The many ways in which the screenprinting of standard containers canprovide impact, shelf appeal, andbrand identification will be amplydemonstrated too. On display will bea wide selection of standard con-tainers-each of them either pig-mented or screen printed to customerrequirementsto achieve an individualbrand or company image. It isprobably not fully appreciated thatusing fully automated equipment, weare currently screen printing over1,000 different designs in one ormore colours on standard con-tainers and 'customer specials'.

Half, One Gallon and Five LitreRange on Show

As Europe's leading producer of half,one-gallon and equivalent metricsize containers, the company's standwill include an impressive range ofthese, particularly the highly success-ful S66 one gallon, and new "Com-pact" five litre flat-top jerrican typecontainer which provides economicand attractive packaging by com-bining the attractive appeal, andlarge, easy-to-grip handle of thejerrican, with the economic storageability of the S.66 design.

Since the last Pakex in 1970,Plysu Containers Limited have ledthe field in designing new con-tainers; developing new techniquesin handling, and screen printing; andin factory expansion with the instal-lation of further automated systemsat their Woburn Sands, Bucks' site.Pakex 1972 will provide an oppor-tunity for the Plysu team, led by JohnEastaff, to discuss with customerssome of the new developmentsplanned for 1973/74, and how Plysuintends to maintain its position asleaders in the U.K. and Europeanpolythene packaging market.

DON'T FOff on holiday soon? Perhaps atrip abroad?

No doubt you and the familyare already collecting together afew of the "essentials"-pass-ports, sun tan lotions, sunglasses, bikinis, 'hotpants' -andof course, the camera.

Maybe you haven't used thecameramuch during the drearywintermonths and the early part of our so-called summer so before you go onholiday ifs a good idea to look it outand run a film through it, just to makesure that ifs in perfect working order.

Talking of films, you should packplenty to last you during the holiday.There's no great difference in theprice of films at home and abroadthese days, but you don't want tohaveto waste your carefully budgetedforeign currency on such mundaneitems while you are away. Andremember-take plenty of film,becausewhen you areabroad you aregoing to see sights you've neverseenbefore,dances,markets,festivalsetc. and-in caseyou don't see themagain-you'll want to capture themin pictures. However, if you shouldrun out of film, don't worry, becauseyou'll find you can buy the well-known brands like 'Kodak' almostanywhere in the world!

Transparency or Print?

Ifs all very well to talk about films ingeneral, but sometimes it's difficult todecide which is the most suitabletype of film to use. These days, italmost goes without saying that you'llwant to take colour pictures. It maybe the holiday atmosphere, butsomehow the sun seems to shine somuch more brilliantly on the Con-tinent and the skies are so blue thatall the exotic colours seem brighterand stronger and cry out for colourfilms. But which? The choice liesbetween colour print film and colourtransparency film. Colour prints arevery handy because you can showthem easily to people-and you canget as many copies from one negativeas you like. On the other hand it'sdifficult to beat the impact of a colourslide show-the projected coloursseem to glow. There's a division ofsubject matter here too. The expertssay that colour slides are much the

URGEI YOUR CAMERAbest for scenic shots, whereas, if youaretaking shots of the family enjoyingthe holiday it's more convenient tohavecolour prints. There'san obvioussolution to the dilemma, and that isto take two camerasand keep one forcolour slides and one for colourprints. With modern 'lnstarnatic'camera outfits (complete with colourfilm) available for around a fiver, asecond camera can hardly be des-cribed as a major extravagance! Fora couple of E's or so more, you canget one of the new 'Instarnatic' Xcamera outfits equipped to takeflash pictures without batteries. Youcan always hand the second cameraover to your wife, to take the 'family'pictures while you concentrate onthe 'creative' scenic shots. Don't betoo surprised if she gets resultsjust asgood as yours-even if she's not anexpert. 'lnstarnatic' cameras are veryeasy to load and use-as she'llquickly discover-and while you'restill fiddling with your camera con-

trois she'll be snapping happily awav 'with no trouble at all.

Read the Instructions

There arejust a few tips which willhelp you to get better pictures.They've been repeated over and overagain practically since the arrival ofthe first amateur camerain the 1890'sbut they are still worth noting. First,if you buy a new camera read theinstruction book that comes with it.

The second and greatest 'rule' forgood pictures is to hold the cameraabsolutely still and to squeeze theshutter button slowly and gently. Aquick jab at the shutter release willcertainly jerk the camera and you'llget a picture that's not as sharp as itmight be. And don't only hold thecamera still, but hold it level as well,or all your horizons will be on theslope.

•

A holiday abroad creates many photo-graphic opportunities to feature theunusual and the unexpected like thiswooden house in Switzerland.

Many people seem to be under theimpression that the instruction book-let is in the pack just to stop thecamera from rattling. Not true.

Close-ups are interesting

When you take people, get as closeto them as your instruction book willallow (it's about 4 feet for mostsimple cameras). It's much moreinteresting to see people in close-upthan as specks in the far distance. Ifyou're holidaying in a hot country,remember that your camera is not sokeen on the heat as you may be.

When not in use, try to keep it in itscase, shielded from the sun. Don'tleave it lying about on the hot sand-both gritty sand and heat are equallybad for it.

Be Prepared

And remember, carry your camera atthe ready at all times, particularly onholiday, else you are likely to misssome exciting moments. Don't putyour camera away when night falls

The classic shot of a young girl playingon a sandy beach is understandably aperennial favourite.·

either-some of the main holidayhighlights take place at night-barbecues, dances, etc. and with asimple camera equipped for flashyou can capture all these nocturnalcapers as well as the daylightactivities.

Don't forget to step out frombehind the cameranow and then andget in the picture yourself. We heardof a man recently who was so busytaking photos in Majorca that heneverfigured in one himself, so whenhe got back, no one believed he hadbeen ...

PS-When you come back (and weall have to come home sometime)resolveto buy a photo album at onceand stick your holiday colour picturesin it, while places and events are stillfresh in your mind. If you take a littletrouble now, you'll find they'll giveyou lots of pleasure and happymemories in the future.

Permits

A proposal was put forward thatthe Management be approachedwith a view to obtaining day fishingpermits for friends of Members up toa total of five on anyone day, at acost of 25p, this was seconded andagreed.

It was also agreed that the JuniorCup be known as the J. SorensonCup and that the two miniaturetrophies be purchased and engravedwith the names of the winners of theJ. Sorenson Cup and the C. PhillipsShield.

It was decided that points beawarded to match winners this yearand that cups be presentedto points-winners of both the Senior and Juniormatches. Mr. D. Caton volunteeringto donate the Seniors Cup and Mr. P.West to donate the Juniors pointsCup.

A fixture list was drawn up, a copyof which would be pinned to theNotice Board and further copies wereprinted for Members to fill in thematch dates.

A very satisfying A.G.M. was con-cluded by Claude Phillips, thankingthe eleven members present for theirattendance.

Dear Members,You will have noticed I am sure,

the improvements that have beenmade, and are being made to thelake by the clearing of the banks ofundergrowth and the removal ofbushes and dead trees from the lakeitself, where it is planned in the nearfuture to build an island, whereflowering shrubs can be planted andwild fowl encouraged to nest. Amallard duck has 'already raised afamily of eight on the lake and thereare two families of moorhens. It ishoped later to install a colouredvariety of ducks asa further attraction.The tree clearing entails a lot of hardwork and it will be much appreciatedif Members willing to give an hour ortwo, in the evenings or at weekends,would give their names in to anyoneon the Committee, so that workingparties can be organised to finish thejob as quickly as possible.

On the lighter side, should you seea figure in the early hours carryingrods and landing net with a farawaylook in his eye muttering things like"Must be twenty pounds at least",and "I will get one, I know I will",don't be alarmed, its only one of ourMembers, who shall be nameless,but just lead him gently by the armback to Frank Kings workshop,where with luck at 8.30 a.m. he willrecover, he has only been bitten bythe Carp bug and its not serious, butthe complaint can be infectious.

With the season just begun here'swishing everyone tight lines andheavy keep nets.
