6 SUMMER, 1972

LARESIDE BIIGO BOOMS

The Bingo Section started in
June. We had an attendance of
112 people, which we thought
was a very good start. One
month later, there were over 220
members and we feel that this
is just the beginning. The Bingo
itself is paid out in money, of which
a percentage is kept for the Works
Benevolent Fund. Which means that
all monies gained will be used for the
good of the workers at Plysu. First,
of course, we have to pay for the
equipment.
Bingo is played every Thursday
evening. Doors open at 7 p.m. and
we try to start at 7.45 p.m. We hold
two sessions, between the sessions
we hold a raffle and serve refresh-
ments. We do our best to finish by
9.10 p.m. as some people have to go
home by train.
The people in charge are the Social
Club Committee members. But as
some are rather shy in coming, I
must say how grateful we are for the
great help of non-members Ron

From a customer's viewpoint
RECKITT and COLMAN
Why does a customer buy from us and not from a competitor?
How can we improve our service to benefit the manwho paysthe bill?
These are questions that are vital to the Group's future and where
better to get the answers than from a top executive of one of our
most important customers. 50 it was that we approached Mr. Lawrie
Burgess, M.lnst.P.5., the Purchasing Manager of Reckitt &. Colman
I ndustrial Division to get his viewpoint.
Sitting in his office at Divisional head-
quarters at High Wycombe, Mr. Burgess
said: "Firstly, I want to say that the service
we get from Plysu is as good, if not better,
than most of our other suppliers, but from
time to time irritating errors creep in that can
result in real headaches for us at Reckitt &
Colman. I can well understand that they may
seem like very minor points to people at
Plysu, but I'm sure that this is simply
because it is not appreciated what happens
to the containers when they arrive at our
manufacturing plants".
"To go back to the beginning, the decision
to change over to plastic containers from
tin was taken only after very careful con-
sideration and initially at least there was a
definite price disadvantage in so doing. But
it was felt within the RCI D marketing
department that plastic in general, and the
pigmented screenprinted S66 in particular,
had the right forward-looking image to
match our products. We found that by
examining the packaging aspect as a
whole, rather than looking just at the con-
tainers, we could minimise the price
disadvantage".
"As you probably know, the containers
are supplied from Woburn Sands in spec-
ially designed cartons of four at a time
with perforated flaps already in position, and
there they remain right through filling, capp-
ing, palleting, despatching and deliverytothe
customer. This process is essential to keep-
ing packaging costs at a competitive level".
"Problems arise when containers in a
carton don't match the label on the outside,
because of course the first person to be
aware of the mistake is our customer".
"When we were mainly producing
emulsion floor polishing products, the wrong
grade of polish in a container was an
irritating but not disastrous mistake. How-
ever, as we expand our range of products to
include highly aggressive cleaners, this sort
of mistake can have really serious reper-
cussions, and I hope that everyone at Plysu
will do all they can to make sure our con-
tainers are correctly printed, correctly
packed, and correctly labelled".
"We go metric in the Spring of next year,
and I am very pleased to say that we shall
be going over ~t about the same time, to the
new five-litre Compact container which we
consider to be the best designed on the
market, even when compared with others
costing more".
'The move over to metric sizes inci-
dentally emphasises our export business
which is currently active in all the Continen-
tal and Scandinavian countries, with regular
supplies going to the Far East too. Try to
imagine how we feel when we get a report
from Hong Kong that a customer poured
some of our 'polish' on to a floor only to see
it turn into a gooey mess because what was
on the label wasn't in the container".
"One of the reasons for the successful
collaboration of Plvsu and RCI D over the
past few years has, I feel, been due to close
liaison at a high level between both com-
panies. John Eastaff and I meet regularly for
a hard business discussion every four to six
weeks. I have visited the Woburn Sands
factory many times and I know how well
organised and equipped Plysu is to turn out
an excellent product, so I hope you won't
think I'm too carping in my criticism. The
good relationship between the two comp-
anies is going to be all important during the
early 1973 transition from imperial to metric
sizes".
"Inevitably during this mid- February to
end of March period we are going to be
calling for a mixture of sizes and I hope that
our friends at Plysu will bear with us until
April 1, 1973 when the changeover will be
complete. We anticipate the five-litre
Compact take-off will total at least 1'5
million in the first year so it's going to mean
good business for Plysu once we're over
that difficult period".
"We're also looking forward to intro-
ducing the 20-litre R.70. This is a size for
which we feel there is a big future, and I
am very pleased to see Plysu leading the
market. It is an easily handled and stacked
container, good looking and much in
demand on the Continent".
"Finally, I should like to emphasise that
our buying philosophy is that value for
money is the prime requirement. Whilst cost
is important, service and product quality
matter more".
So there we are, that's what one
major Plysu customer expects. Now
it's up to us.

On Show
at
Pakex
Pakex, the international exhi-
bition held in London every two
years at which the Packaging
I ndustry displays its wares for
the world to see, takes place at
Olympia from October 9 to 13
this 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 display
of how good our screen printing
is on standard and special con-
tainers.
Two New R.70 Containers
Plysu recently took the lead in the
British five gallon market with the
increased production capacity of
3,000,000 a year, now available at
Woburn Sands, and the exhibition
will be used to introduce two new
containers 'into the R.70 range.
Being shown to the trade for the first
time at Pakex are the 20 litre version
of the R.70 which has been designed
to offer industry an alternative size in
the five gallon market. The 20 litre
R.70 offers all the benefits of a bulk
container, yet is more lightweight
and easier to handle than a five
gallon drum. The object of the large
handle is to make handling easierand
another important point is that when
filled, it is light enough for women to
handle, too. Although a 20 litre size
is not new to the U.K. market, Plysu
will be the only company offering
this size container, produced on fully
automated production systems.
A special purpose, robust five
gallon R.70, specially strengthened
to provide greater stacking and
storage ability, will also be shown at
Pakex. This container will stack six
high-two high on a pallet three
pallets 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 not
prepared to waste valuable storage
space by the use of containers which
only stack three or four high.
Both new containers incorporate
the stacking, storage, impact, strength
and large labelling/screen printing
area of the R.70 and are suitable for
a variety of liquid packaging needs,
from food stuffs to hazardous chemi-
cals. The standard R.70 container,
in both the five gallon and 25 litre
version will also be shown at Pakex,
alongside the 5 gallon/25 litre jerrican
and 10 gallon jerrican, which com-
plete Plvsu's range of larger size
containers.
Versatility of Screen Printing
The many ways in which the screen
printing of standard containers can
provide impact, shelf appeal, and
brand identification will be amply
demonstrated too. On display will be
a wide selection of standard con-
tainers-each of them either pig-
mented or screen printed to customer
requirementsto achieve an individual
brand or company image. It is
probably not fully appreciated that
using fully automated equipment, we
are currently screen printing over
1,000 different designs in one or
more colours on standard con-
tainers and 'customer specials'.
Half, One Gallon and Five Litre
Range on Show
As Europe's leading producer of half,
one-gallon and equivalent metric
size containers, the company's stand
will include an impressive range of
these, particularly the highly success-
ful S66 one gallon, and new "Com-
pact" five litre flat-top jerrican type
container which provides economic
and attractive packaging by com-
bining the attractive appeal, and
large, easy-to-grip handle of the
jerrican, with the economic storage
ability of the S.66 design.
Since the last Pakex in 1970,
Plysu Containers Limited have led
the field in designing new con-
tainers; developing new techniques
in handling, and screen printing; and
in factory expansion with the instal-
lation of further automated systems
at their Woburn Sands, Bucks' site.
Pakex 1972 will provide an oppor-
tunity for the Plysu team, led by John
Eastaff, to discuss with customers
some of the new developments
planned for 1973/74, and how Plysu
intends to maintain its position as
leaders in the U.K. and European
polythene packaging market.
DON'T F
Off on holiday soon? Perhaps a
trip abroad?
No doubt you and the family
are already collecting together a
few of the "essentials"-pass-
ports, sun tan lotions, sun
glasses, bikinis, 'hotpants' -and
of course, the camera.
Maybe you haven't used the
cameramuch during the dreary winter
months and the early part of our so-
called summer so before you go on
holiday ifs a good idea to look it out
and run a film through it, just to make
sure that ifs in perfect working order.
Talking of films, you should pack
plenty to last you during the holiday.
There's no great difference in the
price of films at home and abroad
these days, but you don't want to
haveto waste your carefully budgeted
foreign currency on such mundane
items while you are away. And
remember-take plenty of film,
becausewhen you are abroad you are
going to see sights you've never
seen before, dances, markets,festivals
etc. and-in case you don't see them
again-you'll want to capture them
in pictures. However, if you should
run out of film, don't worry, because
you'll find you can buy the well-
known brands like 'Kodak' almost
anywhere in the world!
Transparency or Print?
Ifs all very well to talk about films in
general, but sometimes it's difficult to
decide which is the most suitable
type of film to use. These days, it
almost goes without saying that you'll
want to take colour pictures. It may
be the holiday atmosphere, but
somehow the sun seems to shine so
much more brilliantly on the Con-
tinent and the skies are so blue that
all the exotic colours seem brighter
and stronger and cry out for colour
films. But which? The choice lies
between colour print film and colour
transparency film. Colour prints are
very handy because you can show
them easily to people-and you can
get as many copies from one negative
as you like. On the other hand it's
difficult to beat the impact of a colour
slide show-the projected colours
seem to glow. There's a division of
subject matter here too. The experts
say that colour slides are much the
URGEI YOUR CAMERA
best for scenic shots, whereas, if you
aretaking shots of the family enjoying
the holiday it's more convenient to
have colour prints. There's an obvious
solution to the dilemma, and that is
to take two camerasand keep one for
colour slides and one for colour
prints. With modern 'lnstarnatic'
camera outfits (complete with colour
film) available for around a fiver, a
second camera can hardly be des-
cribed as a major extravagance! For
a couple of E's or so more, you can
get one of the new 'Instarnatic' X
camera outfits equipped to take
flash pictures without batteries. You
can always hand the second camera
over to your wife, to take the 'family'
pictures while you concentrate on
the 'creative' scenic shots. Don't be
too surprised if she gets resultsjust as
good as yours-even if she's not an
expert. 'lnstarnatic' cameras are very
easy to load and use-as she'll
quickly discover-and while you're
still 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 will
help you to get better pictures.
They've been repeated over and over
again practically since the arrival of
the first amateur camera in the 1890's
but they are still worth noting. First,
if you buy a new camera read the
instruction book that comes with it.
The second and greatest 'rule' for
good pictures is to hold the camera
absolutely still and to squeeze the
shutter button slowly and gently. A
quick jab at the shutter release will
certainly jerk the camera and you'll
get a picture that's not as sharp as it
might be. And don't only hold the
camera still, but hold it level as well,
or all your horizons will be on the
slope. A holiday abroad creates many photo-
graphic opportunities to feature the
unusual and the unexpected like this
wooden house in Switzerland.
Many people seem to be under the
impression that the instruction book-
let is in the pack just to stop the
camera from rattling. Not true.
Close-ups are interesting
When you take people, get as close
to them as your instruction book will
allow (it's about 4 feet for most
simple cameras). It's much more
interesting to see people in close-up
than as specks in the far distance. If
you're holidaying in a hot country,
remember that your camera is not so
keen on the heat as you may be.
When not in use, try to keep it in its
case, shielded from the sun. Don't
• leave it lying about on the hot sand-
both gritty sand and heat are equally
bad for it.
Be Prepared
And remember, carry your camera at
the ready at all times, particularly on
holiday, else you are likely to miss
some exciting moments. Don't put
your camera away when night falls
continued overleaf
The classic shot of a young girl playing
on a sandy beach is understandably a
perennial favourite.·
Don't forget
your Camera
continued from page 5
either-some of the main holiday
highlights take place at night-
barbecues, dances, etc. and with a
simple camera equipped for flash
you can capture all these nocturnal
capers as well as the daylight
activities.
Don't forget to step out from
behind the camera now and then and
get in the picture yourself. We heard
of a man recently who was so busy
taking photos in Majorca that he
neverfigured in one himself, so when
he got back, no one believed he had
been ...
PS-When you come back (and we
all have to come home sometime)
resolveto buy a photo album at once
and stick your holiday colour pictures
in it, while places and events are still
fresh in your mind. If you take a little
trouble now, you'll find they'll give
you lots of pleasure and happy
memories in the future.

Plysu Angling Section
At the A.G.M. held in the canteen in
April, Mr. Claude Phillips was re-
turned as Chairman, a position he has
held since the formation of the
Angling Club. Also returned were
J. Sorenson, Secretary, and D. Caton
and P.West, Joint Section Treasurers.
The Committee voted in com-
prises: B. Garrett. D. Cox, W. Hollier.
R. Golding, J. Worrall and T. Lang-
ridge.
The first item on the Agenda was
the re-naming of the Club and after
much discussion it was agreed that
the name be changed to the Angling
Section of the Plysu Social Club,
subject to the rules of the Social Club
being made available and that they
were acceptable to the Members.
The Chairman thanked all Officers
and Members for the work that had
been put in in the previous year and
outlined the programme for the
future, the clearing of trees from the
lake, the forming of an island and the
provision of coloured ducks as an
added feature of attraction.
Permits
A proposal was put forward that
the Management be approached
with a view to obtaining day fishing
permits for friends of Members up to
a total of five on anyone day, at a
cost of 25p, this was seconded and
agreed.
It was also agreed that the Junior
Cup be known as the J. Sorenson
Cup and that the two miniature
trophies be purchased and engraved
with the names of the winners of the
J. Sorenson Cup and the C. Phillips
Shield.
It was decided that points be
awarded to match winners this year
and that cups be presentedto points-
winners of both the Senior and Junior
matches. Mr. D. Caton volunteering
to donate the Seniors Cup and Mr. P.
West to donate the Juniors points
Cup.
Winners
Winners of the trophies this year
were C. Phillips Trophy, J. Sorenson
with a Carp of 14 Ibs. 8 ozs. and the
J. Sorenson Cup-Paul Caton with a
Carp of 4 Ibs. 11 ozs.
A fixture list was drawn up, a copy
of which would be pinned to the
Notice Board and further copies were
printed for Members to fill in the
match dates.
A very satisfying A.G.M. was con-
cluded by Claude Phillips, thanking
the eleven members present for their

Arrangements for the start of Plysu
Football Club's first competitive
season are going full speed. We have
gained entry to the North Bucks
League (Div. 3). and we are now
affiliated to the Berks and Bucks
football association.
We shall be using the second pitch

proposed pitch behind Woburn Sands
Recreation Ground would be ready
