What program/software did you use to create booklets so you can just go into a printing office and hand them it?
I have used the free version of Canva for years for making gaa programmes and it's been great but would Canva Pro be good. They have excellent templates which are not available on basic Canva .
Is it worth the 100 quid?
Thanks in advance
I suppose the question is what is mostly in the booklet: text, drawn images, photographs, tables etc?

You'd probably be better going to local printing company as it will look shit doing it yourself.

Agreed. It is worth the expense, and seek out funding grants under the heading of capturing and recording history or community engagement.
if you spend the time then you can do this in Word or Libreoffice and it will look fine. But you would need to be organised, have a template set up in advance, and manage the images carefully.

Now in fairness, and with all due respect to the OP, the guy doesnt know what software to use for the job so I am going to hazard a guess that he is not hugely competent in this field. You would be surprised how reasonable print houses are these days.
So I fire the company photos and text and they put it into certain layouts and I pick the best? How much would it cost?
I have actually started myself on Canva. I have used canva for posters and local programmes for years and getting better as years go on. I've got until November so I think I might give it a wee rattle. The wife says it's good and she tells me straight!

No, but if he has done the hard work of getting the stuff together there may be someone not too far away with skills to help.
