For sale : QE2 Story Calendar for 2023

[Isabelle Prondzynski]

It is that time of year again : The QE2 Story calendar for next year is ready!



This year, we offer Lulu wall calendars for sale, and we also intend to set aside a couple of Vistaprint desk calendars as special prizes in forthcoming photo competitions, which will be a great incentive to enter your photos! 

The Lulu calendars can be ordered here :

https://www.lulu.com/shop/the-qe2-story-forum/the-qe2-story-calendar-for-2023/paperback/product-5pgg6d.html

A preview button is available on that page, showing each month, photo and calendar together.


A larger PDF preview (without watermark) is available if you click into the links at the bottom of this post.  Note that this is just a preview, and doesn't reflect the quality and resolution of the printed calendar.

The price per calendar is GBP 8.98 or equivalent in other currencies, with only a slight margin to benefit The QE2 Story.

A big thank-you to everyone who contributed with wonderful photos for the competitions, who voted and selected the prizewinners, and who sent us the prizewinning pictures.

Thanks to Isabelle for working on the 2023 calendar.

I had ordered a calendar last week, so that the moderator team could check that it was of a good standard.  I am delighted with the calendar and looking forward to January 1 2023 when I can enjoy the first of the calendar's QE2 pictures. But meanwhile I will enjoy the beautiful photo on the front cover.

Can't wait to get mine!!

I think that the 2023 calendar (arrived today) is very good and up to its usual standards with lots of great images.
I particularly like the one on the back - quite different from the usual style of pics.
Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much, George! I am so glad you are enjoying the calendar in anticipation.

Yes, that picture by Bob C is also one of my favourites, and it shows how much fun we used to have on board .

My wall calendar plus desk calendar (only available as prize) looking good

[Lynda Bradford]

2023 was the first Desk Calendar that Isabelle had produced.  Because there was not the option to order direct it was only available as a prize - a well received prize. 

When looking at the photos for the August page on the desk calendar I could not help but be impressed with Isabelle's skill when grouping the photos. 

The three photos on the page draw you into the scene of the long passageway, the view of the tables and the seating in the Princess Grill and giving you the choice - do you go up the stairs or into the Midship Lobby.

Not long until Isabelle will be working on the 2024 Calendar - keep watching for more details.
