QCGC Web site
Brochure material can be emailed to QCGC (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)for inclusion web pages under the club functions menu. Please supply the details as a PDF so that the public can download and print the brochure in house. This is the cheapest alternative for mass publicity. However don't rely on just one lot of media for an advertising campaign. Member clubs are entitled to post a simple flyer details of current events on the QCGC calendar.

QCGC Newsletter Articles.
The newsletter editor (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) is always looking for gardening articles and write ups of local garden events. Articles can be written in Word format so that the newsletter editor can manipulate the article to fit the appropriate space in the magazine. Word is preferable to PDF as it is difficult to do text editing on PDF documents. Photos are best included as a separate JPG files. Higher quality photos are required for publishing. Mobile phone photos are usually okay at full resolution.
