Unfortunately not. I am evaluating whether there will be a calendar this year as its a lot of effort and last year we sold so few we struggled to break even.

Too many Silver zeds in it,and 3 pics of the same car probably didn't help,Jim ,lol :rofl:
I know it went on Photo comp entries,but maybe need to mix it up a bit more?
Have photos of as many different zeds as possible,and no more than 1 photo of the same car,or same model and colour?
I know people will then complain about it,but just my opinion,I think a calendar looks better with different things each month?
Good to see a Red,Blue and PY in there to break up all the Silvers and Grey's :rofl:

Hopefully there can be more calendars in future :thumbsup:

I agree with the 'one entry per car' idea...gets a bit boring seeing the same car over and over again. Pretty sure last years had one car in three times! No harm in entering and even winning the comp with the same car, but you just don't get to go in the calendar. The calendar entry would go to the 2nd place and so on until it was a new car which hadn't won yet.

I am guilty of not buying one this year, but if you do print this year, I would definitely buy one,
Perhaps run a thread in October, to see how many would def buy and see if the figures add up?
 
There would be a hole on my office wall for the first time in 7 years if we didn’t have one, but if the costs can’t be covered I get it :(

We did that last year and the sales fell way short of the promises.
41 votes to buy - a fraction of that number actually sold

ooh,, perhaps a non refundable deposit as well ?
 
You can put my name down to buy one.

I agree that a car should only make one appearance.

I think the more cars that appear in the calendar the better... and the more owners that will want to buy it!!

To take that thought one step further, why not design the calendar so that the 2nd and 3rd place entries also get a spot. Makes the calendar more interesting and even more owners with an incentive to buy it.

It needn't be all squashed up. Have a whole page to the winner (as it is now) and the other page (currently 100% calendar) could be mostly calendar and two small photos for 2nd and 3rd.
 
Guys, I don't think there is sufficient interest to make it viable to publish a calendar this year.
 
I have never used a card Calendar for years but would certainly pay for 12 Forum selected Hi-Res background pictures for my PCs that I would set to change every month. Very little cost to produce. I could do it myself I know, from the submitted entries, but I would still pay as it would be a contribution to the Forum. Perhaps some interesting text could be added to the pictures to make them Forum specific.

:cry: Will definitely be buying one if they are available. Understand if they are not viable. :(
 
I’d also buy one. :thumbsup: What about making a list of who wants one then working out what it would cost to make and post for that specific number?
 
A poll was run last year to determine the print run size, but then actual sales were well short of the poll numbers. Marlon and the boss put a lot of time into it, so it was no doubt disappointing not to reach the numbers in the end.
 
Take money up front and if the required amount is not raised facilitate a refund or donate to a charity chosen by the organisers - can’t expect people to waste their time for nothing :thumbsup:
 
Yeah, we have a plan to change the format to give a fair reflection of all cars. At the moment I am planning on implementing this next year.

I'm happy to pay up front for one, and if numbers are not enough then just donate the money to the forum.
 
Money up front sounds like a plan .
Donate to forum/ charity as backup if the numbers don’t add up, good plan b . I’m in , let me know how much and when to send it :driving:
