  • RC Charity Calendar 2011

    Hi All,

    For those of you that dont know me my name is Clare, i am Chris's girlfriend, and i am hoping to create a calendar to raise funds for Factor 50 - Christie's, a charity set up raise the awareness and prevention of Malignant Melanoma (skin cancer). I lost my mum to this disease last year.

    What i am endeavouring to do is ask people to submit a high quality digital photograph of theirs or other people's helicopters in flight. I am looking for something that will make an appealing picture, and hopefully cover each of the seasons: ie snow in the photo for December/January, sunsets for Autumn, etc.

    What i need is thirteen different photographs, one for each month and a separate one for the cover. The back cover will have the twelve thumbnail photos covering each month.

    Any person submittting their photo/s that are then chosen for the calendar would have their name included underneath their photo.

    Prefered file format for photos is jpeg, as this is what the printer uses.

    I am hoping to do an initial print run of 100 copies to see how they sell, subsequent batches can be produced at a later date.

    The charity will recieve 100% of the money raised by the sale of these calendars, as i am doing a lot of the work myself binding etc, but they are being professionaly printed on high quality paper.

    Thanks Clare x

          Thank you guys.

          I am just testing the water at the moment to see the response from people for obtaining the photos that would be needed.

          I saw the printer today Tradewind Printing in Dorset and he went through the details of what type of paper and cover was needed. He has created several calendars before which have sold well, and he is letting me have some samples of his work.

          The proposed calendar is going to be A4 in size, and we are probably looking towards the end of July to have them ready for sale.

          This is a link to the charity Factor 50 Fundraisers raising money for Christie's & Malignant Melanoma Research Fund, fight skin cancer

          Another idea suggested is that for a nominal fee some of the shops connected with helis sponsor a month in the calendar. Their company logo would be printed on the cover and the relevant month.

          The printer suggested a retail price of £9, but this is still to be decided once i recieve the sample calendars.
