No need to ask me anything, take over

Two things...

Firstly, we have already been through every suggestion that will be put forward here numerous times and no one ever does anything about it. Last time an identical thread to this cropped up 2/3 people said they would put the 2012 calendar together and erm.... where is it then?

Secondly, it's a hell of a lot of work to do it properly (last years calendar looked stunning) and in my opinion it's simply too much work for so few sales (if we got 500+ people buying it, it would be worth while, but sadly we don't).

Good luck if anyone take it on, it is an enjoyable thing to do and the forum did enjoy the voting each month, it was just a shame we didn't get half as many sales as votes.

Have you got a picture of last years calendar, sorry to be a pain but only joined half way through the year.

that's the thread that was running throughout the year, so each month after the vote I updated the initial post with the winning photo

blimey see what you mean now, I will get in contact with a few printing companies, but I don't want to promise anything.

I would be interested in 2 copies...................I've had the last 3 years.............

If you want to get one together for this xmas the easiest thing would be to use some of the unused piccies from Roberts' link.

If you decide to go with a printed version you'd be well advised to get the money in first, don't risk being left out of pocket. I'm sure the forum could make its paypal account available to get over any cash handling issues. Though I agree a pdf version should suffice as there's plenty of places that will print a one off calendar.

I had one of last years and it is a great calendar nice size. But I think all in a downloadable one be far better to use as desktop each month or print of ourselves or send images to one of many photo printing companies that do them now. I have used Aldi's photo service for our wedding photo books and large canvas prints.
I guess i also do not ever use a calendar now to actually write on so a bit of a waste in that sense, but it looks good hanging in our spare room!

[Miniature]

How about we open a thread where it has a list of all the relevant mini meet dates, and people can put up their favourite calender-worthy photos of their minis. Then, people can browse through all of the possible photos, pick their favourites, and take the photos and dates to whatever company they want to get a calender made up for themselves. So, its sort of like a downloadable calender, but with more flexability over the photos.

It would be nice to see some new pics rather than rummaging through last years. What do you guys think?

Miniature

[Black.Ghost]

I would be interested in this and creating one, but only joined in the middle of this year so could anyone tell me what it normally consists of

Good man!

12 months, 12 pics: 12 minis with or without their owners (owners with or without their clothes), 364 or 365 days depending..... Important dates (including mini meets) marked on the appropriate days. That's pretty much it!

Shouldn't that be 365 or 366 days?
