And as fate would have it.. I found a folder today on an old USB stick with my photos from last time still in it..
I have a few better ones as well to add now ;)
Obviously I'll chuck the best ones in to be voted on if need be :thumbs up:

[Mini Ecosse]

Yes a good idea :thumbs up: , just need a kick up the a**e to submit some photos.

I've been doing a wee bit of research, there are many differing types of calender.
We can have the type that sits on your desk to a wall hanging type.

I intend to ask for photo's soon and select 3 per month to be included in the final calender, it won't be my choice, but, a select committee, or, i'll consider posting up for a poll, that will make the final decision.

Don't send any pics yet, but, the first reviews will be for the best of July, August, September and October.
This will then allow me to forward the pictures we want to a suitable calender maker in time for next year.

Watch this thread :)

[Big Gordy]

Ross got callendars made up this year for the MG bunch. Very good quality. He still has the software the printing company sent him to create them. If you want any more info about them let me know as he's back on dry land tomorrow:yes nod:

Yes please, i take it that Ross made up the calender and then sent the design back and got the calenders printed ?
If so, that would help to keep the costs down :thumbs up:

[Big Gordy]

Yes please, i take it that Ross made up the calender and then sent the design back and got the calenders printed ?

Yeh:thumbs up: The people that wanted them sent him pictures and he cropped them to suit.


If so, that would help to keep the costs down :thumbs up:

The best way, he felt, to keep costs down was to get as many cars from different owners in each months picture that way more than one person would buy that months slot so to speak:smilewinkgrin: It seemed to work OK:popcorn:

[Big Gordy]

I should also add that there was loads of calender designs to choose from ie wall, desk, etc.:smilewinkgrin:

[Gismo]

[The Dogfather]

looks like I changed my car at the right time........

[N12 JLK]

Desk please. But Kerr would probably prefer a wall. So would buy whatever

[MINI William]

wall for me:thumbs up: as i get slagged at work enough for loving my car to much so would just add to it if i had a piccys of lots at my desk lol:smilewinkgrin:

[stoney]

wall for me as well

[Big Gordy]

If I remember rightly BS would create the calender on his PC then send it to the printers dudes. They then set up a link for anybody in NMS to go and buy whatever they want out of there shop:thumbs up:

[Scottie]

H'mm I wonder will there be a poll to decide on which pictures to use:laugh:

Calendar Girls aka Mini Boys gets my vote any day:thumbs up: :hand:

[Burple]

Cool. That gets round all the arguments of what kind we should make!.


Right.. onto the arguments about what pics to use!! :D:D:D :argh:

:popcorn:

[Big Gordy]

Like I said 'ohh small one' try and get as many different minis in each pic therefor appealing to more of the masses more of the time:thumbs up: If its only your car on April's page then realisically it's only you that will want to buy it for that month:argh: .......did that make any sense:eyes up: :smilewinkgrin:

In some weird logic ;) I'd personally be buying the calendar for ALL the months ;);) so long as my car was in at least one of them :p:p


...But I see what you mean. :D Too many cars.. not enough months!
I know it would be a pain, but how about a thread with just pics of cars, and we could vote on the top 12 / fave pics?

(deep down.. I know this won't have a chance in hell of working without somebody chucking the dolly oot :argh::ragin::D)

:popcorn:

[The Dogfather]

There's only two Clubman's on the site and I've got two cute dogs. I must stand a good chance of being included.

Does the software allow that to happen?? When is Ross home, or do you have the link??

[Big Gordy]

Does the software allow that to happen??

What I meant was WE as mini owners would be better talking the pictures with several minis in it:smilewinkgrin: Don't know if the software allows a montage type picture:confused: Don't see why not tho:popcorn:


When is Ross home, or do you have the link??

He's back this weekend:thumbs up:

[Gismo]

He's back this weekend:thumbs up:Some weekend :Whistle:
Anyway's, i've not fogotten this, i'll be looking to receive pictures during July, August, September and October.
The nominated committee will pick 3 from each month and from there the calendar will be made, giving me almost 2 months to get them made up and supplied to anyone that wants one

Who's on the "nominated committee"?

[Gismo]

Who's on the "nominated committee"?I haven't decided yet, are you offering?? :rolleyes:
I'd be happy to pick all the pictures myself, some folks will be disappointed no matter what way i go, not an easy thing to do

[Big Gordy]

Sh!t:eek: completely forgot about this Alan....sorry:argh: Will contact junior and get him to leave out the CD. I'll post it to you tomorrow if you want:thumbs up: PM me your address again;bigwave:

I'll be submitting a few pics myself, so I'm happy to chose as long as it's not for the months I submit photo's for.

But like you say, we're bound to upset "someone" at some point.:ragin:

A.:D

[Scottie]

I would ask each of our 4 Sponsors to choose for a month.

[AndyP & Lenore]

I would ask each of our 4 Sponsors to choose for a month.

Ohhh. That's a good idea.:thumbs up: Well done Mis Fi Fi Dooper.:D:D

Why not each sponsor chooses 3 months. Covers all year then.:moonie:

A.:thumbs up:

[Gismo]

Excellent idea, i'll ask our sponsors to pick 3 pictures to cover 3 months each.

I'm kinda hoping that some folks have festive pictures, or the crimbo month anyway, not fussed about spring, summer and autumn.

Once Gordy gets his finger oot to send me the CD i can have a look at the potential calendar design :Whistle:

So, the July month is almost upon us for submitting your pictures, try and keep the file size to around 4mb max, for my mailbox :thumbs up:
send to alan@newminiscotland.co.uk

Also, if you submit a picture for one month, please, do not submit it for another month, i appreciate it's difficult to know how many pictures may be sent in any month..........

i will want to put some in but want them from my picnic run as i know i can get a brill pic from up a hill with lots of minis in it will this be to late as its not till end of aug

[Gismo]

i will want to put some in but want them from my picnic run as i know i can get a brill pic from up a hill with lots of minis in it will this be to late as its not till end of augWell, if you read the thread you'd see that 3 pictures will be selected from July, AUGUST, September and October :popcorn: :nag:

[Big Gordy]

Once Gordy gets his finger oot to send me the CD i can have a look at the potential calendar design :Whistle:

:blush:
Are you home now??
I'll see if I can find the disc and send it ASAP:argh:

[Gismo]

:blush:
Are you home now??
I'll see if I can find the disc and send it ASAP:argh:Nope, home on the 26th June, this year right enough :thumbs up:

[Big Gordy]

It might be worth trying to organise mini's from the same location to meet and have group shots taken:yes nod: For example Craig, MarkyC, Fi, CCM and I are all from roughly the same area. Stoneyand Elfman are another example. That way one month will appeal to more than one person if you see what I mean:moonie:

[Big Gordy]

Nope, home on the 26th June, this year right enough :thumbs up:

I'll try to endevour to have it posted to your home for you coming back then:thumbs up:

[stoney]

Well, if you read the thread you'd see that 3 pictures will be selected from July, AUGUST, September and October :popcorn: :nag:



:p:p:p:p:p:p ok missed that bit :moonie:

[Gismo]

A wee reminder, i don't need any pictures e-mailed to me until July :hand: you know who you are :Whistle:

[Gismo]

Am waiting for the pictures to come rolling in :Whistle: :nag:

[AndyP & Lenore]

Am waiting for the pictures to come rolling in :Whistle: :nag:

I think if the thread hadn't been so confusing you'd have photo's by now.:eyes up:

Your first post says in bold capital: DONT SEND ME ANY PHOTO'S.:frown:

So, can you clarify for all of the terminally thick:popcorn::

1. How many photo's we are allowed to send you at one time?
2. When we are supposed to send you the photo's?
3. Do you want US to specify which month we would like the photo's to be used for?
3. Who's going to be judging which photo's are going to be used?

Lots of questions, I know, but I've just re-read the entire thread and TBH, aside from the fact that you said you would maybe get the sponsors to judge the photo's, none of these other questions are answered.:confused:

A.:D

[AndyP & Lenore]

There ya go, i think that covers all the questions :popcorn:

Sorry Alan, but in my mind it doesn't answer any of them.:confused::confused:

[Gismo]

Ok, to clarify for the Pop Corn Boy :rolleyes:

1. How many photo's we are allowed to send you at one time?
You can send in as many as you want each month, however, i see that there could be a problem if you really want a particular picture to be reviewed, i was trying to limit the amount to save me receiving hundreds of photo's.
As soon as someone's picture is picked then no more pictures will be required from that member, this will help ensure that there are chances for other members.

2. When we are supposed to send you the photo's?
Anytime during the months of July, August, September and October

3. Do you want US to specify which month we would like the photo's to be used for?
If you have a seasonal picture then yes, if not, the pictures will be reviewed on their merits and i will decide what months they will be used for

3. Who's going to be judging which photo's are going to be used?
All the current sponsors will be asked to pick 3 pictures each month

Hope that helps :popcorn:

Oh and Gordy, yoohoo :Whistle:

Try with only one picture to see if it goes, failing that, you could burn them on a disk and post them to my house

I sent you a few but not sure if you got them... didn't know your email restrictions were so low... :eyes up:

[Big Gordy]

Right just had Ross on the phone and he thinks it a place called photobook:thumbs up:
He also said to beware of cropping your pictures too much before submitting them as the calendar website resizes them to fit the template and they can get a bit 'pixaly':frown:
He also said you need a minimum of 12 people to buy the calendar:moonie:
Just a thought but do any of the Falkirk,Stirling,Denny,etc bunch fancy getting together for a group shot:cool:

I've updated the first page to include the link to the proposed manufacturer so folks can go online and see if they like the look of the calendars they provide :yes nod:

[Scottie]

I'm up for that.. :thumbs up:

it's a yes from me

[Scottie]

do we have to go to all this hassle re photoworld and stuff can't we just send the pictures to you Allan.??

[Gismo]

In order to qualify for one of your pictures you must submit them to me.
From there they will be picked by the sponsors to appear in the calendar.

It would be very easy for me (and everyone) if we agreed on one type of calendar, that way i would do all the ordering, uploading of pictures etc.
So, if everyone can agree on which type of calendar.....................:computer:

[Gismo]

I voted no:o not really my thing

A.Nope, more a pointer to Jason cause he can't get his pictures through to me

[AndyP & Lenore]

Had a look at that site Alan. It looks to me like the majority of their designs suit pics with portrait orientation. And I'm gonna guess that the majority of the photo's you get are gonna be landscape.

tbh Allan I just put my name down as it a local thing and just going along for a laugh.

Whether the photo got in calendar or not I couldn't care.

It's seems to be a big thread on how to and what style calendar.!!!!!

Just decide on what you want and get on with it man.LOL

fwiw. I found in my experience of choosing and ordering calendars for my part of the business for some 20 odd years LOL. the calendar with the space to write in next to the date were the most popular. Maybe you've already chosen not read the whole nine yards of the thread.

Oh and if you really wanted to do it well why not

for every ££ spent on a calendar donate £ to a charity.

What makes that "right" you voted that you didn't want it anyway

[Gismo]

Maybe you've already chosen not read the whole nine yards of the threadNope, i haven't chosen, that's what the online ordering system allows, each peson to decide what they want, but, when i tried to make it simple for you by taking away the choice you didn't appear to like that either :rolleyes: wimmin :Whistle:

[Scottie]

What makes that "right" you voted that you didn't want it anyway

just because it is.

[Gismo]

Download and install the software, it gives you a lot more optionsHmm, it would appear that even after downloading all the software it does not give any more options :eek:
I was sure it had a suitable landscape option, needs more investigating

[AndyP & Lenore]

It looked to me that an A3 portrait calendar could be top half landscape pic, and bottom half landscape calendar. Like two landscape A4's sitting on top of each other, which is what A3 is, of course.

Between that and the desk top variant should suit those that want one :thumbs up:

Many thanks to the members who supplied pictures for the month of July :thumbs up:

Thanks to Monkimagic, Stoney and s-a-l-t-i-r-e for the August entries :thumbs up:
Once again only 3 folks sent pictures in, so, you guys will have one picture selected by JC's from the month of August which will be selected on Friday.

Only 2 more months to go for folks to ge their pictures in, remember, only one picture from any member, though thanks to the Aberdeen crew a multiple car shot may be picked featuring many mini's :yes nod:

[Forbes]

So can Aberdeen folk get another pic in it? What if it has a different car in it?

[Gismo]

So can Aberdeen folk get another pic in it? What if it has a different car in it?Yes of course, the rules are that only one user can have a picture selected for the calendar, what they submit is entirely up to them :yes nod:
So, if you all want to do another photo shoot, then make sure whoever submits the photo's has not already been picked ;)

[Forbes]

Ah ok. So if S-a-l-t-i-r-e-s was picked it cant be again. Hmmm... where has Voodoo gone? Might try my own hand at it

[Big Gordy]

Thanks to mikeythemini for selecting the Septembers pictures :thumbs up:

Sadly, only 2 folks sent in pictures, myself and Jason, so, Mike sent me a few of his from which i selected one for him.

Jason, any chance you can look at your original picture to see if you can remove the date stamp??

The 1st post has been updated with the latest pictures, only one month remains for any member, who hasn't already had a picture selected to send in their efforts.
The closing date is the 31st October :yes nod:

Hello Alan, sorry I hav'nt a clue how to take out the date stamp, any computer buffs out there may be able to do it (Craig/Andy?). Hopefully you will still keep it in for the callander as it is a good picture.

[Craig]

you need a photoshop monkey.... not my bad tbh. maybe Bazthemod - he seems quite photoshop savvy ;)

[Gismo]

Hello Alan, sorry I hav'nt a clue how to take out the date stamp, any computer buffs out there may be able to do it (Craig/Andy?). Hopefully you will still keep it in for the callander as it is a good picture.Do you still have the picture on your camera?? if so you can remove it from the camera's setting, if not...................then i'll mess about with it and see if i can sort it :rolleyes:

[Gismo]

Ok Jason,
I've sorted you're picture, but, im having difficulty getting onto photobucket, damned works websense :ragin:
So, i'll get it posted shortly

[N12 JLK]

goodman, Ive just been on photo bucket uploading some christmas pics for Mini Meats Christmas lunch and was working fine.
Picture is well off the camera infact some bugger stole it when we went for a tour of Ibrox I now recall.

[Gismo]

working fineI know it's working ok, but, my works websense does not allow that site so i can't log onto it :rolleyes:
Anyway, i've hosted the picture on NMS until i get home and can change it :yes nod:

[Burple]

Hey, can anyone send in *more* pics if one's been selected already? ;)

[Gismo]

Hey, can anyone send in *more* pics if one's been selected already? ;)Nope :moonie: but others can take photos of your car :Whistle:

[zimbo]

Sent you some pics Alan, will try send more if you want? :thumbs up::Whistle:

[Gismo]

Sent you some pics Alan, will try send more if you want? :thumbs up::Whistle:As many as you want, but........only one can be picked from each member and only 3 members in the last month

[Gismo]

Thanks to the last 3 folks who submitted pictures for October's picks, the winning shots will be advised shortly once they've been judged.

I'd also like to ask if any folks have got a group photo that includes the banner to send them into me, i want to include this on the front cover.

Now, i guess i need to know if folks just simply want to be able to buy a calendar, or, would they like to make it up for themselves from the picture website company?

just one that i can bye i think that would be best :thumbs up:

[Craig]

I would just like a Calendar that I can buy... :smilewinkgrin:

I think I have a few photos of the banner with people, but I also think AndyP has some and his will prob be better than mine.. :blush:;)

[Scottie]

I'll take one if it's free oh and a Diary and a box of Roses. :p:Whistle::hand::shut up:

[Gismo]

Ok folks, the final 3 selections have been made by Mark Dryden of Saltire Vehicles and this concludes the selections for the calendar.
I'm simply going to devise the calendar and offer them for sale

[Gismo]

Ok, i've decided upon the calendar design and have attached the final image below:-

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b71/Bonnie_Scotland/New%20Mini%20Scotland/NMS%20Calendar%202009/NMSCalendar.jpg

I'm prepared to purchase the calendars up front and send them out to folks.
I'm still waiting for the final price which shouldn't be any more than £15 delivered to your door

I've started a new thread here (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=187662#post187662) for folks to confirm they would like to purchase a calendar
