Those who read the thread up there somewhere will know that we are gradually piecing together a calendar as a fundraiser for one of our local guys who was paralysed during a club run in June. This gets frustrating. I am gradully accumulating a load of nice pictures that I really want to share, but because I (and the other participants) have agreed not to divulge them until the calendar is released, I feel like a child with a secret waiting for Christmas.

Bah..

Id love to show you this picture --> (but I can't yet)
Or this one where we tried to copy that famous one by whatsherface of thingy -->
Or this pastiche of that Olympian in his home town. -->

Grr..

never mind, in a few weeks time all will be revealed (in more ways than one!)

So, you got Kelly Brook to do that pose?

Photographic evidence would suggest that Kelly Brook prefers a more upright bike.

Makes no difference to me!

Well, that is all thirteen pictures shot, laid up and ready to go. All I need to do now is sort out all the dates, collate all the additional text into the final page and get it off to print.

All will be revealed on Sunday.

I can see why you wanted that cycling-themed sporran now...

David Martin · « **Reply #11 on:** 14 December, 2010, 07:10:12 pm »

Unfortunately we just had to make do with a monster sporran held up with a 9-speed chain.

Calendar page is now up at The Dundee Cyclists' Calendar 2011 | Dundee Thistle Website so Reg can order his copy of the lovely fireman.. (Mr July)

Can I just point out that nowhere on that web-page is the price of the calendar mentioned? You have to click on 'Buy One' in order to find out the price.

It might be a bit better to be upfront about the price (which is very reasonable) and the postage costs.

And is it possible to have a non-PayPal method of payment? I don't use PayPal.

David Martin · « **Reply #13 on:** 15 December, 2010, 09:06:16 am »

I've added the price to the web page. Just getting clearance to publish an address for postal orders on the web.

You don't have to be a registered PayPal user to make a payment via PayPal - that is unless what you actually mean is you object to making a payment via Paypal.

You can now send a cheque.

I am sitting here with A2 printouts of the calendar pictures ready for the launch tomorrow (They were donated by an anonymous donor). I am planning to auction them off after the launch.

What am I bid for Mr July? Can I take telephone bids or would you like to just put a reserve on it?

The prints are much better than you see on the web. Very nice. And I can't show anyone till midday on Sunday. Still like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Mr July? Ugly b-brake levers!

February: That's a mighty tool my pal Vic is wielding.

Great work, David; I'll be ordering one.

EDIT: the calendar that is, not a mighty tool.
