Public notice
I received this email today and am wondering if anyone would like to respond.
Hello,
My name is Bobby Inman and I am an American living in Plymouth England. I am helping with an art display in preparation for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower sailing from this city to the New World. A local art center is hoping to recieve and display a collection of as many postcards as possible from every community worldwide named Plymouth and I thought maybe you and your shop would be interested in taking part. We hope the art community will be a vital heart of this exhibit. If our dreams came true we would receive a postcard from every person in every Plymouth, each with their own unique stories and depictions.
An official brief will be released soon and will it go into much more detail, but basically we are asking for any postcard types, commercial or handmade. We would like the picture to either be of the city itself or something related to the Plymouths they come from. We are encouraging drawings, paintings, collages or any other medium for handmade cards, and truth be told would prefer those to store bought ones. We are hoping the inscriptions will include a wide range of entries, from stories of personal connection to poems or whatever the Mayflower story invokes in people’s minds. We will be providing links to websites with templates to make your own cards, but there are plenty out there that are easily searchable.
This is a small community project and we are a team of just a couple of people who simply share an interest in human connection.
We are officially connected to the Mayflower 400 commemoration through the Vital Sparks initiative and further details can be found on their respective websites.
If you would like to be involved email for further details

Thank you for your time.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
