why some members are a bit shy about it.I work in a printing position and can
assist in obtaining contact for this to bare fruit.
There are times members need to be cautious about invitations even proofing approvals
need to be considered.Is there a problem doing our own calendar?????????????????
thank u and best wishes
I hear what you are saying coradict 72. I can assure you the company that has approached me appears to be reputable from the discussions I have had with them, and the information and sample calendars I have been sent.
My personal opinion is that I have no problem with the concept of a club calendar. Having said that, whether the club facilitiates this or actually initiates it is another matter that needs to be investigated. Any undertaking by the club has to be financially sound and it also needs to be born in mind that we are primarily a social car club.
If you are able to provide contacts who may be particularly helpful we can investigate what is possible and feed that information back to everyone.
As an observation, the last time our club had a small quantity of Australian Corvette calendars as part of a group order with other Corvette clubs printed we did not sell them all, in actual fact we sold very few (this occurred a number of years ago). In saying this I am not saying the present committee is not open to investigating the idea, but am trying to provide some background as to why it may not have been received as enthusiastically as wished in the past.
I do know that a few members have discussed the idea of this in the past and still have such a project in mind.
Look forward to talking about this with you soon.

We think the reluctance stems not from not wanting to but maybe from not knowing how to send pics from the computer. During my time as Forum Administrator I have learnt that many are a little shy of the computer. Hence we only have 60 club members that are registered on the forum.
Both VO and myself have been talking about this just recently and it's on our list of things to attend to.
If you would like to discuss this more let me know and I'll split this thread into two so that the theme of this thread does not go a stray.

I'll have to second Cam's thoughts there, I also suspect that many just plain overlooked the post when it was initially put up. I've had a number of people email me pics today and/or express their approval for me to use pictures of their cars.
