Desmo Due 2007 calender.?
 

Does this idea have merit.?......a calender for 2007 including photo shots form 2006/2005.........perhaps we can get buy in from our series sponsors as well.?

if it does im happy to co-ordinate with some else who has printer connections ( chris woods lol )...

what do you guys think... a run of 100.?

just an idea and in principle has the support of the RC/MT

can.....worms....everywhere. lol

good idea i recon.

Yea Fil great idea. Count me in for 6( xmas prezzies...) LOL:lol:

Printing at cost confirmed...no problemo!

I like it...

Great for personal and series sponsors also for Ducati dealers etc...

Why not do it for this year and include the race dates etc...

Surely after Brands we will have enough photos?

Good idea !:eureka:

or on the sponsorship...... i am sure we could get individual sponsors for each month maybe.

i would be happy for coratiasun.co.uk to sponsor a month.

i think it's a good idea indeed guys...

one of the best yet.

Donating any money raised to charity, such as Riders For Health, would be a good idea too.

Let me know if you need a hand with anything, or any advice from the run of calendars we did a couple of years ago.

ok it seems as though it does have merit indeed................

I dont think we wil have time to get it running for this year...but we can certainly make inroads to getting the formatt and photo/content ready in place for xmas...................

so im nominatting myself to work with another .?...... chris you got printer connections..are u up for it.?

Guys idea's on volume.....60 riders = 60 calenders at least but a run of 100.?

Phil

long as there are no pics of you or Dom... i'll buy one .:)

deffo Ant......

I think using the formatt from the DSC calender is a great idea and saves alot of work.?

profit proceeds to Charity 100%

Phil

60 riders = 60
3 to each series sponsor 2006 = 20 approx?
xmas presents etc ( got to be at least 1 per rider?) =60

150 i recon easy?

As we want to do a general club calendar as well how about making it double sided so that one way round it has all the DD related bits and on t'other side general club bits ?

Not trying to chuck a spanner in the works just an idea maybe worth considering ?

Saves doubling the calendar effort, potential to run a better quantity to keep cost down (realise it will cost a little more double sided) More club info in one place if we decide to sell them more widely ?



I'll get me coat.........................................

please send ideas to phuntley@ra.rockwell.com

150 sounds good dickie

im thinking on using the same formatt as the last dsc calender...worked well and at least the layout is already sorted.?

thoughts.?

nude shots..!! " hung like a bat " springs to mind............ :eureka:

Pictures please to phuntley@ra.rockwell.com


without piccies = no calender

NO dodgy shots u lot.............:P

Phil

Merry Printers do an annual that has the calender separate to the photos, but both on the same binder....

So you can have as many or as little photos as you want and still see and change the calander to the right month as you need....

A 'NUDE' shot on the grid somewhere might be a nice touch? Just boots and helmets.... 'cue' comedy punchlines...

Was that horseshoe or pipistrelle ?:P

I like that idea :)

Email gone out to all riders, please respond ASAP

I don't have access to any of my webmail accounts at the moment because the company I work for have new web naz ... sorry, new websense administrators .... GRRR!!!!

But I like the idea of a DD calendar. I'll take 5.

can i be Mr november

Definitely not, but your missus is more than welcome to pose for a couple of shots... :devil:

now thats a bit more like it your misses with your bike that will get them sold

Sorry not to have replied, but I don't understand the question :lol::lol::lol::lol:

In the (very) unlikely event of that email being related to a budding debate, I will agree with the first side who buys me a pinte of Guinness :lol:

never got your email mate it dominic_clegg@hotmail.co.uk

if we let the ducati dealers have a cope it could attract more riders to the serise

and im my opinion more the better.

i.e. use it as a promotion tool

let me know if theres any thing i can do to help


but im not doing any nude picks with ducati bits covering my privates :D

But Dom, the club will pay for your back, crack and sac :D

:lol:

need an industrial strength weed whacker to get though that lot
:P sorry back to the subject at hand fantastic idea

:barfy:

Can Kirsty and I have our sprog in it?

If it's a boy we were thinking of calling it Geoff as a tribute, and if it was the other kind Dom(inique) is a front runner....

Cracking idea and I'm sure the vast majority of racers will buy at least one.

However, like some of the other initiatives that are around at the moment, however you look at them and all the very positive intentions, there are things that are dividing the club in some way. A DD race calendar is a brilliant idea, funded my race members and no doubt a few others and money to charity - everyone wins, can't knock it.

But in the spirit of a new club going forward, one that works together for the benefit of the full club whether that be rideout, trackday, BMF, raid the lakes, Popham, midgy bashing or Motogiro, I would MUCH prefer to see a DSC CLUB calendar, yes filled with fantastic pictures of the DD bikes and winners and trophies, but also someone touring around the Alps, a group shot of the trackday, some lovely ladies and gents all dressed up in the black tie at a DSC dinner dance, Nelly with his hands in an engine, Guido's photos from a trackday, a Scottish bike covered in midgies, whatever.

Let's take this great idea from Phil and turn it into a brilliant one with the best DSC calendar ever and the best motorcycle club calendar in the world - the real heart of this fantastic club.

Just my opinion, no politics, no toys, no pram, no agenda other than helping to make this fantastic club something we can ALL be proud of.

photo competition? winners get their photo on the calender- just a suggestion

That was why I suggested a double sided calendar John; loads of DD info on one side with all the other great DSC stuff on the other. Could appeal to a wider market, kills two birds with one stone, promotes both the club in general and DD gets extra exposure as the calendars would be out in bigger numbers. We gave some away to dealers and sponsors last time we made a club calendar, maybe if we could get a dual purpose one sponsored we could give one to each member at Christmas ?

It was only a suggestion yet again, the idea to try and bring all aspects of DSC life back together. The riders are having a vote on it at the moment, it would be good to think that the wider benefit could be considered. That said I'm not trying to hijack the idea and if the riders are adamant that they want to do their own calendar it is up to them.

i can see the logic in a DSC calender with ALL the DSC events incorporated. So its over to you Paul...............................i wont make any more movements on a seperate DD calender.

Phil

Phil, you were happy to take this on when it was for DD only - it was your great idea......so why hand it back to the already overworked MT, why not take it on for the good of the whole club? I know Fordie had a hand in the last one and we no doubt still have the contacts for the printing as the last one was high quality, so it's only about getting some pics together.

ok with the addition of further feedback the DD calender it seems is a goer
