Swap description: Join the Club #4
Welcome to the club! IThis is one of my all-time favourite swaps, so I decided it was time for another round. :)
For this swap, you will invent your own club, and create a custom membership pack for each of your partners. Think about what you like to do, and what you would like to share - this swap is all about getting other people involved in whatever is important to you, and sharing your obsessions! Your club could be...
- a book club
- a craft club
- a zine club
- a mail art club
- a promo club for your Etsy store
- or just a celebration of whatever random subject happens to be your passion (but no 'adult' or religious themes, please!)
- the main requirement is to be creative!
N.B. You do not have to create an entirely new club, if you already happen to run one; but the membership packs must be handmade, and must still meet the criteria outlined below.
Please make sure your membership pack includes all of the following:
A membership card
including the name of your club, the name of the member, & anything else you would like to include (eg member number, date joined etc). Again, the format is up to you.
A club newsletter
this should be a minimum of a single A4/letter-size page. The newsletter can take whatever format you like, e.g. a folded sheet, stapled pages, or booklet/zine (or mini-zine)-style. Feel free to add as many extra pages as you like, and include any kind of information that is relevant re. your club theme Γ’β¬β news, reviews, projects, puzzles, or whatever else makes sense.
Membership guidelines and/or 'mission statement'
(ie what your club is all about): who is eligible/likely to want to join, a statement of any club rules, and any other basic, essential information relevant to your club. The guidelines may be presented as a separate, individual item (your choice of format) or incorporated within either the membership card or newsletter. If incorporated within the newsletter, guidelines should not exceed more than 1/4 of the content space, as the newsletter is intended primarily to impart additional relevant information.
A club promo gift
eg button badge, handmade stickers, bookmark, notebook, craft items, or something else relevant to your club.
Swap requirements:
- 3 partners = 3 full membership packs sent & 3 full membership packs received.
- Each membership pack should include a membership card, newsletter, guidelines, and a promo gift.
- Membership card, newsletter & guidelines should be handmade by you. Promo gift may be handmade or store-bought, as appropriate to your membership pack.
- If you participated in a previous incarnation of this swap, please prepare a different club package than those sent previously.
The obvious bit
This is a high-effort swap, so please be aware of that before you commit to signing up. You must have completed 30 Type 3 swaps to join this swap. Late swaps & low ratings will all be checked before assigning partners. Contact me if you think there might be a problem.
