cant wait to get mine, hopefully they will be arriving in the next few days,
i must admit i was lucky enough to get emailed a copy a week or so ago just to have a look at, and i know that they are such high quality, whoevers getting them will be more than impressed, i think my comment to albie at the time was 'fantastic'.
To say there as good if not better than what you would expect to buy in a shop, very professional and a big well done to the guys who have spent alot of time and effort for the club and its members. :hail:

Albie

Just a quick word from Albie, all the calendars have now been posted!!

So watch your letterbox and leave a note on your door to politely ask your postie not to fold it in half to get it in (remember boys and girls it's A3 in size). Anyway we both hope you all like them (tough if you don't really!)

Albie
26-11-2009, 04:34 PM
Yep they all got posted at 9.30 except for Staffords :biggrin: whose Im holding back now for a week.









Kidding fella yours is with all the rest and I really wouldn't do that. Poor old dear had to weigh and stick 56 post labels. Never moaned one bit.

Sorry they got theirs first but had I lived near you I would have done the same.

I am hoping they come Saturday when you will be in.

I have just got my calender hand delivered this evening. It is great. A big thanks from me and to say well done to the people involved in sorting this out I know how much time and effort can be spent organising things like this from my days in the Mini club. Thanks once again ! It will be taking place of the cute kittens calendar for next year !

This is something I've wanted to see happen for so long, and for you guys to have made it happen really is very impressive!

There are some lovely pictures on there, and the groupings work very well - you obviously put a lot of effort in and it really shows!

Congratulations, and here's to next year, and many more!

Bravo!

Hope this inspires everyone to start taking more and more good pictures of their bikes in the hopes of making it to next year's edition... I'm looking forward to some high standards people! :)

Albie
28-11-2009, 03:52 PM
Thanks for the thanks and please do use it to write on. Its what you paid for and to use. It wont hold any value. I just wanted you to have some nice bikes to look at during your year that you lot own.

Im so glad you appreciate the clean lines and grouping of pics. There are themes going on in it and made possible by Shuffy who refrained from having his name in the credits. Fool ! :D
Yes next year. Hmmmm

Shuffy
28-11-2009, 07:46 PM
Just a few lines to say a very big thank you to everybody who's taken the time to post up about the calendar. I think both Albie and I are both delighted that it's been well received and we've raised a bit of money for the club in the bargain.

Can I also say well done to Albie for pushing this project through, hopefully the trauma of working with me hasn't put him off doing anything like this again. Also thanks go to our secret gang of proof readers who (hopefully!) checked everything through for us. But the biggest thank you goes to everyone in UKMOC, who've supported this project and provided some truly stunning and imaginative images. Hopefully it might inspire people to go out and take more great pictures next year and if someones fancies having a go at next year's design....

Anyway thanks again.

Chris

Shuffy and Albie,

Thank you very much for the calender, they are brilliant! I hope they become a regular thing as I for one will be a regular customer! You should be proud of what you have preoduced as its top notch!

I will have to get my ass in gear and get a pic of my bike in it for next year (providing you will be doing another one?).

Many thanks

neilbaldry

P.S. Thank you Albie for the card!

Albie
29-11-2009, 01:34 PM
If you guys want a calendar every year then all we need is orders. We this year had very little time and worked with what we had.

Im sure we can do it again but we would prefer a bit more time to sort out.

Many thanks once again for the positive comments. Even though we know its good we like to be assured the customer satisfaction as you would expect.

:ukm:

Got home form work last night and found the postman had been and dropped off a big A3 envelope:biggrin:but the when i picked it up it was all wet as the postie has threw it behind my gate at it would not fit in the postbox. Opened it up and everything ok, slight slight water mark on bottom corner of one calander nothing to worry about can hardly see it.:biggrin::biggrin:

Thank you for the Christmas card also the calander is fantastic calander you have really done a fantastic job.

Will enjoy it all year long:biggrin::tgoe:

Shuffy
08-12-2009, 11:59 AM
Glad the last of the stragglers have finally landed, sorry for the delay, maybe Mr Postie is still catching up with his strike backlog. Natty, has yours arrived yet??

So has anyone NOT received a calendar who ordered one? If you haven't, it might be worth a quick call to your local sorting office and see if it's got stuck there. Because the envelopes were A3 in size they would have been too big to get through the door (unless you have a Kingsize letter box that is) and maybe Mr Postie forgot to leave a card. Anyway let me or Albie know if any are still AWOL. And many thanks again for all your kind words, greatly appreciated by both of us.

Albie
09-12-2009, 08:06 PM
If you really want us to. If anyone else wishes to then thats ok but its a lot of work trust me. And for no pay. Thought I would offer it anyhow but yes no doubt we will but with more notice and more detailed pics with some diverse backgrounds. Be warned that we will be wanting pics in August time for getting done earlier in case more sales next time.

I would just like to thank you and all involved for the Calender, i walked into my house today and the only bit of post of interest after 10 weeks away was the Calender. What a superb bit of kit.

And another thank you for the Crimbo card!
