2012 Archive - Pre-order QE2 Story 2012 Calendar

[Lynda Bradford]

We are at the planning stages of putting together the QE2 Story Calendar 2012.  This will be a unique item with members’ photos showing different aspects of the ship.   It certainly is a keepsake that you will want to add to your collection. 

We have decided to use a local printer rather than an online printing service to ensure that a quality item is produced. 

The calendar will be A3 size 16.5 x 11.7 inches or if you prefer metric measurement 420 x 297 mm.  We chose this size so that a good proportion of each calendar page would be allocated to the QE2 photo. 

The paper used will be a good quality 300 gsm silk finish for the front and back cover and 150 gsm silk finish for the 12 inside pages.  The calendars will have wire binding and hangers on the top.  Envelopes would also be provided which is useful if you want to send to friends or family as a Christmas present (yes as from today there are only 151 days to Christmas). 

But we need to know how many members would be interested in buying a calendar before we proceed much further in the planning stages as the number will affect the price which we hope will be around £9.99. 

If you would like to buy a unique QE2 Story 2012 Calendar please add your name below to ensure that a copy is reserved for you!

[Isabelle Prondzynski]

I really like the fact that you can get them done locally, which gives you far more options and great quality control. Thank you, Lynda -- and I am looking forward to it already!

Please put me down for three. Thank you.

You might wish to consider a company such as vistaprint, the more you order then less they are. the shipping is fast and the product of an extremely high quality.
I would gladly pay extra to have them posted in a hard backed envelope. Nothing worse than have a bent calendar.

Some of the ones l have bought in the past, nice though they are have been nothing more than photos printed onto photo paper and have the home made look, and from the Isle of Wight.
One of the members on here produced a very nice calendar with nice views of QE2 and Queen Mary, but went onto add the QV....

Myles - I agree with you - Having used Vistaprint for QE2 calenders in the past, they come highly recommended.
They do great offers, lovely reproductions (nothing worse than bad ones!)  use good paper/card, take sterling - and are incredibly economical as well as speedy!
I also have Snapad calendars from family - they too are excellent, although probably cost more.

Please may I order a bit nearer the time?

Yes but if everybody says that, there won't be a calendar at all, and an enormous about of hard work behind the scenes will go to waste.

Quality is guaranteed!

Why not ask for a deposit to get the ball rolling, you have the paypal donate button which makes things a lot easier
Perhaps the same could be said for the dvds.... would that work?

Or if people wanted to send a UK  postal order (they must be cashed within 6 month) that might perhaps save on the paypal fees, and they can be cashed as and when.

Might this be an idea ?

Its also a good idea to put in a closing date, with no more orders being accepted after such a date...

You also have the option (to save on funds etc) by asking people if they so wish to send in a stamped self addressed envelope which can be stuck on the dvd packet and posted..every little helps
