Bodge Deep Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 We (HMVF) are in the process of putting together an online calendar for the benefit & enjoyment of HMVF members (& anyone else for that matter!). The Calendar will be put together 1 month at a time -2 months ahead IE you can receive/download the August page at the beginning of June. The format will be a downloadable PDF that you can either print off or use as your desktop image on your PC This will give us the advantage over traditionally printed calendars in that we can include those shows that seem to 'pop up' unexpectedly as well as the better known ones and include them more than a calendar printed last December could do!! SO In order for this to be a success I'm asking a couple of favours... (don't worry they're easy!) FIRSTLY If you are organising, or involved in an event & would like us to give it a mention let us know (Names dates, locations etc) and we will include them in the calendar listing SECODNLY (The fun bit) I'm sure we don't want 12 pictures of Jacks Jimmy or my Dodge... So if you'd like your pride 'n' joy emblazoned across the desktops of other HMVF'ers & gracing the pages of the coolest calendar since Pirrelli... From Para-bikes to Cheiftans, horse 'n' cart to Horsa Glider send 'em all! Send us at least 2 good pics & your details and we'll make your green machine a star!

Bodge Deep Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 I've had to compress the crap out of the file to get it to fit but the downloadable version will be much sharper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 OK as the Bodgeman says......we need pictures of your MVs. And he is looking for some good post war gear. So get sending! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I think we have more members vehicles than months in the year. Perhaps a few group shots should be included?? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Bodge is the man on this and he wants PWs first and said that the image has to be 'right' so he can work his magic (not arguing with him - he is good at this) so we need as many pictures and details as poss so he can make the right choice and turn our MVs in to 'pin ups' :schocked: :angel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giz56 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Hi Calender look Really cool.... looking forward to it. but im not going to insult you by sending a pic of my landy.... Ta Cris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Do it, send 'em in I'm after vehicles in all conditions from 'Barn Finds' to 'every dayers' to 'perfect' It's not about minters, concourse or ground up rebuilds etc it's about the vehicles we love using/playing with crashing into things It's more "this is who we are & what we do" (my personal preference is for unrestored stuff but that's just me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giz56 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 OK... but i did warn you....LOL http://s157.photobucket.com/albums/t65/giz56/ most of my photos are on there..... there are some event stuff there to Ta Cris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 What's the plan, then? Change the image month on month, year on year. I think the concept is brilliant, but must mean a lot of work for you! I agree it would be good to build up a collection of member with motor pics. So, I'm happy to do these at Bolero and Beltring for future use - and any other snapping for that matter.

Bodge Deep Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yep that's it! Shouldn't be too hard to do... I've got the basic layout set as a template in 'foteeshop', just a case of a new couple of images per month one as a cut-out & maybe a second, jiggle the dates round & there we are. As for member+vehicle it'd really depend on whether they're comfortable with being in it... At the moment i was just working on the vehicles alone. But yes Snap if you want to send us some of your excellent work that'd be ace :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
