Poll for December 2018 Competition : Colour Red
« on: Dec 29, 2018, 04:00 PM »
The theme for the December competition "Colour Red" was chosen by Lynda Bradford. 

Thank you to everyone who submitted pictures, which we really appreciate, and we hope that you enjoy choosing and voting for your 3 favourites.

Voting is easy, but you need to be registered as a Forum member and log into the Forum to vote.  Whether or not you have submitted photos, please support those who have participated, by choosing your three favourite ones, noting the details, then tick the relevant box on the poll.  If you have entered photos please do not vote for your own pictures.

To make it easier for you, we have posted the pictures below, however you can also view the photos in the Gallery Album, "Colour Red", where you can see them all at once, in thumbnail form, plus you can view larger versions of the pictures by clicking on the photo to see medium size, and click once more to see them in large size.

You will not see the results of the vote until the poll has closed on 1 February 2019, after all time zones have had a chance to catch up with the voting deadline. 

As always the choice is yours - enjoy!

Just voted, another tricky choice!
First sailed on QE2 in August 2003 aged 6 years old. Last sailed on QE2 in July 2008. Last saw the seagoing QE2 in person from the decks of QM2, on QE2's last Transatlantic crossing (Eastbound tandem) in October 2008. Visited QE2 in her new life, in Dubai, in January 2020 and August 2022.

Ten people have voted and interesting to see the spread of votes, which is an indication of the excellent range of photos.  Hoping we get lots more people voting.

The photos for the December competition "Red" are so good that they deserve more votes.  :)

Unfortunately only 11 people have voted so far.  :( Please take a few minutes to look at the pictures and vote so as to support the competition

Please vote if you have not already done so.  It is such a wonderful way to spend some time with our beloved ship !  The photos are magnificent and each and every one brings back a special memory for the person who took it, and it allows us to think about "the good old days" !   :)
