Countryside Jobs Service Weekly – www.countryside-jobs.com Happy 15th Birthday for CJS Now that I have been retired for nearly 3 years, it's lovely to take an occasional peek at the CJS to see how it is getting along without me. The CJS Blog keeps me informed about the week to week progress, and it also links to the latest CJS Focus and any other major developments. It's wonderful to watch the CJS going from strength to strength after 15 years and Wow - how it has grown over the years! The CJS all began as a little acorn in July 1994 when Anthea and I published the first CJS Weekly on a tiny little BBC computer with less computing power than today's average mobile phone. The 9-pin dot matrix printer got so hot that we had to pause after every five copies, to let it cool down again. In the early months we printed the CJS Weekly on continuous computer print-out paper, which then had to be torn off across the perforations after every complete set. That job was bad enough, but then all the side strips, with the printer sprocket holes in, had to be torn off as well. Oh the hours of fun we had! When the ever growing heap of envelopes was ready to post, we would drive into town late on Saturday nights, only to discover 'the night time economy' of Whitby. This was entirely new to us and a world which we country dwellers wot not of. Scantily clad young ladies dashed through the sleet and the snow as they moved from pub to pub and then to club. We considered offering them our space blanket, but clearly they had so much alcohol in their systems that hypothermia was impossible. Drunken yobs would ask us why we were stuffing crates full of big envelopes into the only double capacity pillar box in town (which just happened to be next to the only night club in town) and we would laugh it off with a 'We're posting early for Christmas!' This usually worked, but we always worried that sooner or later some drunken fool might throw hundreds of that week's edition into the harbour. Happily, it never happened. As the CJS continued to grow over the years, the local Royal Mail staff were more than helpful and Sunday morning pick-ups were arranged from our home-office. More subscribers meant more typing and we engaged staff to help us cope. Choosing the right staff is always critical to any business and I am delighted to say that the same people we employed 'way back then, are still running the CJS today. It is thanks to their skill, dedication, hard work and ingenuity that the CJS has survived and thrived. Did I mention staff ingenuity? When we all relied on floppy discs to transfer information (and long before computers were networked), how would you get half the week's job details on one computer onto the other computer, when the disc drive failed late on publication day? The answer, of course, was to email it from one side of the office, via several city hubs, Goonhilly and the odd satellite, to the computer on the other side of the room – brilliant! After 15 years of the CJS I'm delighted that it still has a strong ethical approach - and a lower Carbon footprint than ever before. I'm so proud that the little CJS acorn we planted in July 1994 has now grown into such a fine young Oak. Long may CJS continue to grow and mature as a vital part of a healthy environment. Wishing CJS every success for the next 15 years!

To mark this momentous occasion, Durrell has developed the It’s Time! campaign. Durrell’s50th birthday message is loud and clear. It’s Time. ● It’s time to take action ● It’s time to make a difference ● It’s time to invest ● It’s time to work with Durrell ● It’s time to consider the future ● It’s time, because time is running out! The campaign is a rallying call for everyone, everywhere to stop, sit up, take notice and be prompted into action. By re-engaging with audiences locally and globally, spreading the word about the vital work the Trust is involved with, we hope you will feel encouraged to give, experience or commit to Durrell in 2009 and beyond. Durrell has some major events planned to celebrate it’s birthday, including a Firefly Ball, our much anticipated free entry Durrell Day and our 50th anniversary Concert performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in November. Countryside Jobs Service have been fantastic supporters of Durrell through their commitment of sponsoring the Partula snail. This is a vital project as the three species housed at Durrell are all extinct in the wild but with the dedicated support of companies such as CJS, Durrell can continue to work to make a difference to this species for the future. Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust would like to congratulate CJS on reaching their 15th anniversary, wish them much success for many years to come and thank them for their support in helping to save species from extinction.
