Over 100 guests from the printing and publishing industries attended the official
launch at the RKB Gallery in London of a 2012 print industry sports calendar to 
raise funds for The Printing Charity, a leading national UK charity for the printing
and publishing industries.

This is the second year individuals and companies from the printing and publishing
industries have donated their time and resources to produce a calendar to raise 
funds for the charity.

The 2012 calendar’s theme is ‘industry people as you’ve never seen them’, with each
month featuring an industry figure in a sporting pose. Those who agreed to participate
were from Apex, BPIF, Konica Minolta, Duplo, London College of Communication, Consorcio,
Whitmar Publications, Ricoh, Heidelberg, Friedheim, Renz, and Premier Paper.

Illustration; paper by Premier Paper; printing by Konica Minolta; collating and 
trimming by Duplo; binding by Renz. Canon produced the launch event posters and 
RK Burt provided the gallery venue.

“Please spread the word about the charity. It’s your industry’s charity. We have
the resources and we’re here to help.”
