In the last eNews I was pleased to tell you about the fantastic work done by Richard Briggs with digitising some of the OCC Archive which is held in the Heritage Hub in Gloucester. The first phase of this work was carried out with the kind sponsorship of one of our members and we’re now looking for further sponsorship to continue this vital work. If you are interested then please do contact me via president@oldcryptians.org You can view the work being done here: https://oldcryptians.org/club-archive/

The simplest way to do this is to use the smile.amazon.co.uk from any PC, laptop or mobile device. If this is your first time there, you will be asked to accept cookies – I recommend not accepting all cookies and use the confirm my choice option. Annoyingly this takes you away from the page you want to be on, So, go back to https://smile.amazon.co.uk/ch/1094627-0 and select Start Shopping.
You may need to log in at this point, but from now on you should be raising money each time you shop at https://smile.amazon.co.uk/ch/1094627-0
If you use the Amazon app on an Android phone/tablet you can set up smile.amazon in the Settings.
The instructions seem to suggest that it is the same for the iPhone/iPad app, but I don’t see it on my phone. Instead I have saved the page using “Add to home screen” from the share options. This saves the page you are looking at as a new “app” on your home screen (with the Amazon Smile logo).
