Tell me about it!  I don't need a print shop, I need a builder's merchant and a branch of IKEA

A pallet of bricks and a sack of cement. Ikea self-assembly wall.

One of each paid for, thanks again for doing this 👍

"Pencil"? Is that a commitment? 😂

Polls are now closed, we've got some excellent photos this year, nice bit of variety.

The calendars (desk and wall) are all designed, I'm going to send them over to the printers today, (Monday) and my credit card is ready to have another credit card hammered over the top, or something like that.

However, the images for February, March and April are quite low resolution and I suspect will look very blurry.  I think it's the forum's software that's compressed the image files.

@Ged, @loserone  and @mat777 have you got a higher resolution copies of these photos? If so, please can you let me know asap:

February:


March:


April

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to ask the printers to start without them and I'll manually collate (what fun!).  

[loserone]

Not guilty, it might have been @richbraith or maybe @kingaidan11

I'll have a look see, what resolution do you need ideally?

Most images on the calendar are 1280 x 853, but anything in that region would be fine.  Thanks for having a look!

wall asked and paid ta

[CaptainBoom]

All done! Mat777 has kindly found a higher res version of the Liverpool Airport 306, so we're all good there, but I haven't heard anything back from Ged for the Peugeot 305, (February) Richbraith or KingAidan11 for the Twixfest lineup (March).  The latter hasn't logged in since last March, and Rich hasn't been on since 3rd December. Now sorted, thanks Chaseracer for obtaining the original from Rich

The two pictures are too low-resolution to fill up an A4 page without distorting, so I've made a collection of the winning photos and the runners up for February and March.  While trying to make everyone happy, I'll probably manage to disappoint everyone, turns out I'm quite good at that 😆 

I'll give it until 18:00 tonight, then I'll give the go ahead to get February and March printed with the new design.

@bobdisk, @dozeydustman, @chaseracer, @red5, @Zelandeth and @RobT you showed interest in a calendar at the beginning of this month, are you still interested?  It's not a problem if you've changed your mind - there never was a commitment  but I'm just getting final numbers for the printers. 

If you are interested, here is the form: https://forms.office.com/r/B2RKE5JgLY which contains the payment instructions as well.

Likewise; @Ged, @BorniteIdentity, @alcyonecorporation, @Austin-Rover, @rob88h, @LightBulbFun, @4wheeledstool and @mat_the_cat - a car you own(ed) has been voted for this year's calendar.  if you'd like to buy one, please complete the form (link above). It's not a problem if you don't, I'm not on commission or anything!

[dozeydustman]

@CaptainBoom yes still up for a wall calendar

[chaseracer]

Yes please.

I'll nudge Braithwaite on FB for a better pic. He's been moving house.

EDIT: Have done so.
PPS: Admin done, electronic folding sent. Thanks again, Dan 😎👍

[rob88h]

Thank you for arranging this. 
I’ve completed the form and sent money via Bank Transfer. 

I’m off to sit by my letter box to hassle the postman in some sort of heartwarming 90’s TV advert montage of a child waiting for a much anticipated delivery. 

[RobT]

Thanks very much, apologies if I'm late.  Form filled and payment sent via PayPal.

[dozeydustman]

Winging their way to you in a sec, sir!

[CaptainBoom]

All done, I've just been unburdened of a dizzying amount of (not my) money and the printers have everything they need, (almost, as they'll be getting a slab of Stella from me when I go and pick up the loose pages on Thursday evening) leaving me Friday to get them all punched and bound.  If all goes well, my postie neighbour will take them into work to put in the post on Monday first thing.  You should start to receive your calendars on Wednesday/Thursday next week. 

Many thanks @chaseracer for the higher resolution version of the March photo, it made the cut, just!

Fuckin' knackered now!

[red5]

Done. 2 desktop please.

[red5]

Same, apologies 😬

Not a problem at all - many thanks

[LightBulbFun]

Oh Fuck, right, I did get the tag for this, but I have been pretty busy and in a lot of pain so it somewhat slipped my mind, but fueled by sips of my morning hot chocolate I actually remembered to do something about it, hopefully im not too late  but if I am, feel free just keep the money as thanks for your services!

Not a problem at all Dez, looking at your thread, you’ve been super busy the last couple of weeks! I’ve ordered extra, so it’s all sorted.

[Austin-Rover]

Thanks for the heads-up. I've filled the form in for a desk calendar and sent £ by PayPal.

[alcyonecorporation]

Fuck. 

Am I too late? 

[alcyonecorporation]
