Just a quick ponderance, but as we aren't well known like for example the car forum that Sinead did the car calender for, what audience are you aiming this at? I'd hate you to end up will boxes and boxes of calenders and no one to sell them to. BD isn't exactly a household name.

Thats a good point. The car one was an obvious seller. Cars + girls. A BD members calendar is only likely to sell to BD members. But even then I still see that as being a hard thing to sell. Who's going to want to buy a calendar with our faces on? I'm not against the idea of the calendar, but I do feel it needs focusing. Theres a few main types of calendars really. Babes, hunks, landscapes, local interest, and tie-ins. Its tricky

I thought this was a bit of a laugh and a joke. If this is serious, it's not really going to work. Who'd buy a BD calendar? Apart from us lot, not many people. The time scale and costs involved can be huge assuming you want to make quite a few. It's a LOT of effort that wouldn't get the returns IMO.

I always assumed it was for a laugh, with low production values, and with any proceeds going to charity. At worst, you'd end up with an electronic version that could be emailed in return for a donation of your choice to a charity of your choice.

Failing that, forget the damn charity and let's just make a stupid calendar!

/Wishes he was born in April

I doubt if I could pass myself off as a "hunk" but I'm sure I could find a pose which hides most of the wobbly bits

Being a crab, maybe I could do July with Paula - could be a Scottish July (means getting our photo taken in the pissing rain though

)

I'm in, although a Stormtrooper facade may be the order of the day. Perhaps a Cyber-Man.
