Morris Calendar Idea.......

Post by grahamt7 »

Folks,

I had some calendars produced for family and friends this year....

Thinking about Morris Minors....

I'm proposing an idea to produce calendars for 2008 featuring our cars, the general idea being as follows:

1. The calendar would be a desktop, spiral-bound, flip-over version, as wide as A4 paper and about 3 inches tall.

2. The calendar would feature 13 different Morris Minor pictures.

3. Each picture would be submitted by any interested parties to me. In the event that there are more than 13 submissions, then the editor's choice is final (although I will not include my own moggy).

4. Pictures submitted could be from any Morris Minor type, from concours to half-built, in any setting. Quality pictures of course woud be selected (fill the frame with the subject, dots-in-the-distance dont do it for me :D ). Pictures in JPEG format please.

5. Each photo would be captioned eg "'Scarlett' - 2-door Saloon, 1967, pictured at Beachy Head, owned by Graham in Manchester"

6. Downside :cry: . There is of course a cost, and I'm estimating it to be about £4.20 per calendar, including postage etc. (Should I make any sort of profit I would donate it to charity.) To keep the cost down to this I would need to order 50, and these would need to be paid for in advance.

7. Calendars would be ordered at the beginning of November, to be delivered to you by December 10.

Please see below an example of how July 2007 looks in the ones I had done.

Ideas and comments are of course welcome, as well as an indication of interest (number of copies) level.

Regards,

Appreciate that Kevin. To get them for £4.20 each I need to order 50 :( . If someone wanted more than one then there might be a reduction in cost say to £7.90 for two, £11.60 for three etc., reflecting savings on postage. I'm not doing this for any profit, so therefore I would need people to commit to a a total of 50 calendars (and pay for them up front!) before placing any order. Otherwise, like you say, I might end up with a calendar for every room in my and my immediate neighbours houses! :o

The real problem might be that I end up disappointing some of the contributors who send pictures by not using theirs!! So far all I've got is saloons, it would be nice to get all of the different variants! :D
