Hi Cathapple! I guess we’ve all made our own versions of posters. 😀 I thought I had some (nothing spectacular, but they might have helped unblock your creativity) but I can’t find them & think they must be on my old computer.

I guess you need to hold an inaugral meeting or a workshop to see who’s interested. Do you have a venue or will it be someone’s house? You need to tell people “what, where, when, why”

I remember I used to use a “sea life” font like this one
http://www.fontspace.com/sassy-graphics/sealife
or this
http://www.fonts.com/font/ultimate-symbol/usf-sealife/regular
to make a top and bottom border for the information in the middle of the poster.

Masterclock says that fonts sometimes contain viruses, so proceed with caution. I have no information on whether these or any other fonts are “clean”.

I searched the old morsbags forum (now read-only) for some examples and found these –

which may at least give you some ideas.

“Keep it simple” works I reckon!

I hope you’ve settled into your new community – sounds like you’ve been making friends and other contacts.

I’ll have a look in some old folders and see if I can find any actual old posters and photograph them.
