    2014 NP.com Calendar

    Well with some discussion of a calendar abouts, and AB's approval the wife and i have decided to take it on for the 2014 year.

    The way id like to do it is to scope peoples thoughts, with a simple yes ill buy or sorry no poll..
    once its deemed worth perusing well take it to the next step..
    I intend on running a comp. Everyone will have the opportunity to submit 3 (small) photos into the comp thread with numbers from one to whatever, which after a designated time will be closed, and members will pm me their top 3 pic choices.

    The top 12 will receive a page each, and asked to do a brief write up of the location and car with mods for the page. The photo with the most votes will get a background cover shot, pic of their month for display and their copy free..
    We will also run a further 6 smaller pics on each month so more vehicles are included..

    Now i will be charging a little above cost price, but all profits will be put into the forum. Price will be around $45 each. i am hoping its less than, but it all depends on volume.. but a rough brake down of that $45 is
    $25 for the calendar
    $2 postage each to aus
    $10 postage to you
    $10 donation to the forum to keep the awesome place kicking..

    To be included are the following dates (to be built on as progression is made)
    -Holidays, school and public per state
    -Big trips planned before printing, meet in the middle for example
    -well known tracks opening and closing dates
    -birthdays if people wish..

    We can't add to much to the calendar itself due to box size restrictions but we'll add as much as possible..

    The biggest note i need to make is this is a ONE ORDER ONLY RUN.. ill require payment upon ordering and will be only ordering enough for interested parties.. Maybe a few spare, but not heaps as its coming out of my pocket..

    So lets have some fun with this. I'll move to stage 2 when we have a strong interest..
    Cheers

    Good idea, and I WILL buy one.
    I would maybe do a colleague of patrols per page, that way you don't just have 12 sold calendars cos their cars are in it.
    If you have say picture page split in 2, with 9 small patrols on one side and a half page patrol with your write up on the other.


    Some people might say "If my cars not in it, I might not buy it"

    $40 might also be a bit steep for a calendar.

    Great idea and good on ya for supporting the forum.

    I would buy one.
    Not allowed to have calendars of ladies waring little in provocative poses so pictures of the best 4WD's would be the next best thing.

    I agree with Megomonster that more than one Patrol per month may be a good idea, will buy it either way though.

    Thanks mega. I was thinking 12 so there is plenty left for each year.. also makes it a bit cleaner. And each car had a feature like feel about it..

    After some rough pricing its around $30 a calendar, but postage etc ontop.. and a small donation to the forum..

    Hopefully the poll will be up soon.

    That's a good Idea I guess. Only people buying a calendar can enter the comp..

    I agree with Mick, If your cars not in it your not as likely to buy it

    Not sure if I would buy one as I'm not a calendar person as I don't really care what day it is

    But I would buy it for sure if this photo makes April for my birthday
