Supragal Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Ok people, this year my intention is to have the 2008 calendar on sale in time for JAE so that mean that we need to start now. I know this means that people won't have this summer to take pictures BUT there are loads of new members who will have pictures from the past. Plus we will always be playing catch up and trying to rush it all through with the xmas post is a nightmare. I would rather people had them well in advance just as shop calendars are available early. PLEASE DO NOT post pictures here. THEY WILL NOT BE COUNTED. I am changing how it all works this year so that I have no say (not even shortlisting) the pitcures that go in. This will mean much stricter rules and limited entries but I think it will work better. So, to summarise, this is just a FYI thread so that you know that very soon I will be asking for people to get pictures in, and to let you know the format for entering and winners being chosen will be changing from previous years.

DamanC Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Summer is the best time to get the best shots imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 yes so all the ones from last summer can be used Or the one before, or the one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 BIG change so, we only have a couple of months to take some NEW photo's and get them submitted I have already found a new location though :-)))) The Xmas rush/post MUST be a ball ache for you so, understand...maybe the club could sell them at JAE to non-members or anyone passing the stand ? A few extra £££ for the club... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well yes indeed Pete, I've got a stack of 2007 ones left over and basically they will end up in the bin at a loss to the club because their shelf life is over, whereas if they are ready for the summer then we have several months to sell any outstanding. Any taken this summer though can go in 2009, then onwards it will all work out ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 It's a great idea. Rob and I were on the stall all day Saturday and we sold loads of pens and mugs etc. I'm sure the calendars would sell well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Cheers Rosie, I think anything to make the production process easier for the admins is a must! It's all free time being given up at the end of the day......Thanks again for doing this, it is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Rosie, so JAE 2007 will not be in Calendar 2008? bit of a loss there me thingks. Just my opinion of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Can we try and have some interesting pics this year please. Mess around with exposures, movement, lighting, angles and the like. Just look through the Supraforum members rides section and the quality of pics there is what we should be aiming for. I'm find that "here's my Supra" pics are proper dull. I've got some great ideas. I just hope my camera can pull them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 we have to start now as in get some photos taken or dig out the ones you want, I will post up threads soon once I've written them all and the rules have been explained. Tom- yes this ONE year JAE will be missed out but then it's back into an annual pattern so it's not that much of a big deal. Theres no changing my mind on this one I'm afraid, I don't think anyone has any idea how much is involved in getting this calendar organised and having to rush it through like an idiot with very little time almost guarantees mistakes. I'm fairly sure the current one contributed to me losing my job as I was having to deal with stuff during work time and it was noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 God that's awful Rosie. I can totally see why you want it done early. The thing is people are taking pictures all the time. There isn't a day that goes by without someone buying a new camera. So I shouldn't think it will be too much of a chore for people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 It won't be much trouble at all. Thanks for doing the calender year after year Rosie. We appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm fairly sure the current one contributed to me losing my job as I was having to deal with stuff during work time and it was noticed.I know that feeling. When the forum got hacked ages ago it was bloody typical it was a day I was in the office and not working from home. I spent the whole afternoon restoring it, and all our internet activites are logged at work. I have to say I totally support Rosies decision to move the calendar production forward in the year, it just makes so much sense for a lot of reasons. I'm just surprised it took Rosie this long to think of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
