2015 Calendar

Are we having one?


Edit:
If you would like a 2015 Calander please indicate how many to the Pool above. This poll will close on the 20 Nov to give enough time to get the Calander designed and printed

I was just thinking about that too as I received an email from a friend of mine who runs a printing company and now has a specialist calendar printing division.

The Calendar Printers

Been thinking about it but not sure whether it's worth it to be honest. To make it worth while we would need to get at least 50 copies printed up. Last year we only just broke even as we ended up with a fair few leftovers. If we can guarantee at least 50 copies then it may be worth doing.

You'd think we could sell 50 out of a membership of 795. Is it too late to start now? Worth doing a Poll?

Whether or not we feature in that particular calendar, we enjoy seeing the campers belonging to other Forum members.
However it is particularly interesting if you know that your camper is sure to be included.

A change of format plus a promise to include previously unseen campers might help to ensure the 50 copies needed to go ahead.
eg. a four per page format could feature 48 campers with a promise that at least the first 40 new members would be automatically included.

What a good idea, osg.

We weren't in the 2014 one but I was also still happy to look at other member's vans each month.

You volunteering to help put this together then are you osg?!

These things don't just get done in a morning! kiteman might have to spend the afternoon doing it as well!

I'm happy to volunteer if help us required.

48 views of Absinthe the would be ok, right?

Sometimes I have to do work as well

Last year I only had 8 people send me pictures, the year before that I struggled to get enough as well. Thinking 48 isn't going to happen

Only 8 people and I still couldn't get one on there? How depressing!

You were in the year before, you were on the reserve list though . I wanted to get as many new ones in as possible

I feel better now!

That plus you'd put all the others to shame

Too late! Actually, I struggled a bit to find any good ones last year.

This year, however,...

In that case pick you month

It is my 60th in October!

March it is then

Thanks Abs for getting me out of this - I'm a bit behind with the tech anyway.

Just another thought of a simple way to up the numbers - Most Danbury campers seem to be snapped along with their new owners on collection day. Many of these photographs are up on the Danbury website. So an easy way to be included would be, where applicable, to give permission for that shot to be included in the calendar. Probably applies to photos used by other suppliers too.

Whatever the format - have registered my vote for 2 copies please.

I hate to break it to you osg, but those gallery shots aren't the property of the new owners ..... it's called marketing!
