[VR4 MAD]

I'm already on the list for one, but like Nevman, if my car makes it into the calendar, I'll probably have one or two more!

[White Lightning]

I have added myself to the list in the first post.

+ VAT £1.39

Card board envolpe .42p

Postage from caledar company
to me per 25 calendars. .30p

-------------
£10.03 + postage (£1.52 for UK)

[valleyforge1]

As we order more the price does come down,so for 100 it will be £6.27 each,but I would like to keep the price at £7.92 + VAT and give the dirrerence to a charity.

On one hunderd calandars ordered we would have £194.00 to donate.

[Mark 4]

Just said to my missus that I was going to order a calender but then saw that somebody had already doe it for me. Must be Mr Intoxicated - sometimes he is helpful but mainly gets me into trouble. :scholar: :5shots:

[ANTHONY]

These are the top eleven as of now.if there there is only a top 11 can all the others go onto 1 page together

[ANTHONY]

[elnevio]

All pics will be in December's montage...

As for that last pic - scary!

[Kieran]

Heh, that last pic was funny! /Devil5

[valleyforge1]

and here's one we forgot about

May be we could use it for the front cover./pan

[valleyforge1]

All pics will be in December's montage...

As for that last pic - scary!

Thats the plan, will be swinging into action soon as I have all pics in and printers can get them on their printing machines.

[valleyforge1]

Ok guys where into the last 2 hours to get the votes up. Iam getting the counts together and will be posting them up at midnight, are as close as dam it.

Will put the top 11 up and the votes will be seconded by Pete some time tomorrow.

[stuartturbo]

make mine two calenders please

[valleyforge1]

Ok lets get some orders in.

The photos have all been resized (god knows why) and at last the printers are happy. Iam epexcting a proof in the next few days.

Pm me with your order, Ill sort you out with my "E-Mail" ill confirm your order and E-mail the total back to you.

You can pay me by "Paypal" for which I think their is a charge of 88p OR you can send us a "cheque".

I think thats it up to now. Cheers

[Lillywotsername]

Do you need payments in advance? If so, when do you need it by?

[Nevman]

Can you post the proof here so I can see if any of my friends wants one.

[miller]

Just a thought, is it worth the 'club' buying a few and having them for sale in the shop? just in case we get a few stragglers/newbies who fancy a shiny VR4 calendar for the new year?

Mike

[Spirit]

Sounds like a good idea Mike :2thumbsup

Keith, I have sent you a PM for my order.

[White Lightning]

PM sent :D

[ANTHONY]

paid

Mike

Yeah idea. Iam only going to order exact so wont be out of pocket.

I think you will have to get one of the high and might commitee to part with some club funds. /notworthy :iloveyou:

[Nevman]

Sorry guys but I'm lost (again /pan)
Can someone tell me how much and how to pay?

Valleyforge1 - are we going to see the proof? I'd like to see it to decide if I want more than one please.

[valleyforge1]

I dont think ill have time to get proof to me and then send it to you, sorry.

Try this, Go to this link below and click on "templates" go into A3 & A4 wall and portrait", click on template 7 (seven) the one with the iceberg, and, thats your template.

Now imagine a VR4 where the iceberg is and the company logo in the bottom right hand corner and you got it.

http://www.colourcalendars.com/

PM me a mesage of what you want nd ill get back to you with the business.

[ANTHONY]

looks good

[Nevman]

Yeah, Nice iceberg :)
OK, I'd like 2 at the moment please.

EDIT:
After revising the costs, just one please. Sorry

[miller]

Iam getting all the addresses together and then iiam going to read them to Mrs Forge and shes getting her big black marker out to write on the cardboard evolope and mr posty cant put it in the wrong door.

[SGHOM]

Nice one Keith... well done :afro:

[valleyforge1]

Well ive got the calendars here their sat here ready to go, but iam stiil waiting for the cardboard evolopes to send them out in.

Chris assures that they will be at his press tomorrow.

The calaendars look great, top marks for that, but iam now getting to point of I want them out.

As soon as the evolopes come ill be on to it, so hopefully some of you will get them before the end of week.

[miller]

Keith,

Mike

[valleyforge1]

DOHHHH.

First ones out New Zealand and Roberto in Ireland and then Iam getting the rest in after so hopefully you should start getting them by weekend.

Cheers lads ill carry on with the "big black marker".

[valleyforge1]

Ok busy day and one that as seen a few of these calendars go to good homes.

The New Zealand parcel as gone and Roberto in Ireland, yours is on its way to. I was told that it will take up to 4 days by the airmail, so just PM me when you get them.

Some of the UK calendars went tonight to, with the rest on the way tomorrow, weather permitting.

We have 7 left in the shop if you would like one can you place your orders with Peter.(Spirit)

From this venture, after the bill for the first proof was sorted at £35.00, we made a total of £20.00 extra which was given to "Children in need" on the night a few weeks ago.

If we want this to be doing this again next year ,Chris at Darwen press is willing to sort it out for us, but if we do I will be starting this a round july so hope for some good photos from Castle Combe.

[valleyforge1]

If you can Pm me when you get your calendar that would be great.

Ok just for me to say I hope you all get your calendars, Its had its ups and downs and if your happy with the service we will hopefully sort it again next year so just for me to say Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year to you all.

Cheers The Forge

[valleyforge1]

Ok all the calendars in the shop are now sold.

I have 2 left in my posseion so they are going up at £10.99 plus postage and packing. As xmas last post to "The rest of the world"as gone, on the 5th December, and pretty soon "Europe", I think best that I keep it to posting them to the UK.

So if anyone would like one of the last two please E-mail me and we will sort something out. First come first served.

If they dont go this week illl stick them on E-bay.

Cheers The Forge.

[ANTHONY]

got mine thanks

[Nevman]

Got mine today. Glad you have changed that ugly pink background colour :)
Looks great, good job Keith!
Thanks :2thumbsup

[Davezj]

got my calendar yeterday. thanks good work.

All the pics look good. and i know there has been a lot work put in to this calendar and the overall effect is good.

however i do like to think i can speek my mind on this forum and there one obvious issue and i think it spoils all of the photos, and that is the boarder effect that has been applied to all the pictures, i think it look crap and spoils an other wise faultless product.

still good to have on the wall.

Good effort to all involved in the production.

[Nevman]

I don't mind the boarder.
There are always many ways and designs that something like that can be done and every solution would be liked by some and disliked by others.
Can't make everyone happy :D I'd personally do it completely different but definitely not perfect (i.e. colours). And some people would and some wouldn't like it.

Good job Keith :2thumbsup

[Davezj]

I totally agree with you, it is personal taste.

it is just, i think the calendar would have looked much better without a boarder. it covers/encroches on the outline of the cars in some of the pics and in the rest it looks like..... i will stop there, it's not worth the back lash.

but as i siad before i concur with your statement.

Good Job Keith

it is not easy to do, i done the sport & social club running thing, you can't please all the people all the time, not even some of the people some of the time. i would settle for not upsetting anyone. but usually it was a case of that most of the people that attended my outing enjoyed them selves, but i did always enjoy the feedback that people gave what ever the outcome.

and it is only personal opinion

good job.

[valleyforge1]

Always open to suggestions ,some like some dont, will always be that way.

First time Ive done anything like this and it has been abit stressful. Ive been working on this will looking for jobs ect and after the little upset with another company, you will have to go into the members site for that, it was time that was getting tight.

Last post to New Zealand was on the 5th December and we only got all the calendars and envolpes together on wednesday night, so I think you can understand what I was thinking then. Still they are on the way now.

If everybody wants this to go ahead with me and Chris next year I think that it should be put to the commitee. I have no probablems with that.

Castle Combe will be my stomping ground next year to get designs and other glitages sorted out and then a vote in july or august with the rest of the palava to follow after, so if you have any in put get down to Castle Combe 2009, ill be their, just waiting for offical thread to get started for the tickets and then ill be their with Mrs Fogre and the 2 litre beast.

I can see what you mean, Dave , about the boarder, with the picture in june. I quite like the boarder and as I say it was the time element that was the problem.

Problem sorted with that, start earlier next year. LOL

[stuartturbo]

Got mine today that is correct Today Sunday. They must have realised the importance of it

i think you are brave man to take on the challenge of producing the calendar in the first place, and i could not have done it.
you have got my backing for the job next year.

go for it

[Roberto]

And mine arrived this morning, looking great, cheers.

[HMG1K]

Got mine this afternoon - nice work, Keith!

[MarkSanne]

Just to let you know that a previous calendar topic inspired us at the Dutch GalantFans forums to have ourselves our own members-calender too. A couple of months ago we started asking our (just over 270) members to post up their favorite photographs they made of their cars. Well... we were quite surprised by the response we got and ended up with quite a good looking 2009 calendar which has been distributed as of since a couple of weeks to members who paid.

The calendar cover I created is a 'Truman Show'-like effect picture of us as founders of GF so there's me (left) and Mark (MD aka "Dutch Driver" on here) composed out of several thousand of Galant pictures, although only in real size this effect can be properly appreciated.

uploaded/1887/1228812061.jpg

Next to default holiday entries, we've added as much (related) car-shows/events in Holland to the calendar as we could dig up at that time for 2009. Don't know if you do the same on yours but if not then it might be an idea for next issue.

[Mark 4]

Got mine this morning, thanks Keith - good job.

[miller]

/\ /\ that looks really good Mark!!

[HMG1K]

Mark - love the colour of the August car! Can you post a better photo of that up here please?!

And for us 6G nuts - September and May's images?!

Thanks!

[MarkSanne]

Thanks guys. Not sure if I should post all photo's in this topic, as this would be offtopic from the CVR4 calendar. I'll open up a separate topic to keep things clean, my initial idea about posting in this topic was to show appreciation for the fact that CVR4 has been doing this for (some?) years now and it is a great idea to get everyone polishing their cars and trying to produce great photo's, getting/holding on the club-spirit and the love for these great cars. See http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?p=387208
