2012 Calendar up for sale - finally.....

Post by bfons »

Proof is submitted to the printer and the ship date is slated for Feb 1st. The website is what I have submitted and should not change. However, as I have learned, printing is a funky business and there can be a shot I need to swap out in the 11th hour. I hope not...

I do want to say, there were some pics that blew me away and truly belonged in the calendar. There's a couple that belonged on the cover! However, many pics were disqualified for various reasons. If you do take pics of your beloved Sixer and want to be in the calendar, please remember to set your camera to the highest setting and do NOT use the panoramic setting.

Without further ado.... Here she is!!!

I forgot to say congratulations to those who made the calendar.

Thank you for your submissions as without them, there would be no calendar!

Great stuff Brian!

Notice how us Aussies favour the left side profile while those who drive on the other side of the road prefer the right side? :D

Congrats buddy!

Your efforts are to be commended and I'm sure I speak for all when I say "Thank You!".

A special thanks to your daughter who I know played an intricate part of the process - Kudos! =D>

Last, I would like to thank all who have thanked the selected, as I am one!

I am ecstatic as well as humbled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I also forgot to state...

As in previous years, if you make the calendar, you do get a free one for your contribution. It's not much but without your pics, there would be no calendar.

In the case of group photos, the photographer gets the free one.

Didn't think it was coming :wink: . Got a free one from the Bmw dealer just before Christmas which is also rather good. I ordered one anyway - gotta support the cause and all that.

Thanks Brian, maybe I'll get mine finished before long then we'll have to get some quality pics taken to send you for next year.

Very Nice!

My brother submitted my photo and I wasn't sure which he sent in, but it was a good choice... I took the February photo, glad you chose mine!

Only 13 bucks is a great price! Good job.
