Quick update
First draft of calendar is nearing completion on Cafepress.com. Took me a while to achieve a standard size of photos so they fill the page.
Final step (still to be done ) is to add riders names and location on the photos (adds a bit more interest)
WOULD ALL CONTRIBUTORS PLEASE CHECK YOU HAVE SENT YOUR LOCATION INFO TO ME - SOME ARE STILL MISSING
THE 12 PHOTOS BEING USED (OWNERS WILL RECOGNISE THEIR PHOTO) ARE IN THIS THREAD

Hi Celeste,
Well, I 'm feeling a tad guilty here. Another missed deadline!
It's basically done , just need to add the names and places to the phots in the calendar. I have all the owner names but not all the location details and still waiting for some replies on this.
However, I have also been really busy with work in the week and family at weekends so I haven't chased people up lately.
You note will prompt me to get on with finishing the project.
Tempted to issue with what I have since I am way past my end August target date for completion.
The calendar is on Cafepress.com but think you need my email and password to access. Let me know if you want to see it as is and I will PM you.
Thanks for your patience kiddo ......(and to the rest of you contributors out there waiting for me)
Ron

Rocket,
I hope that you don't feel that I am pushing. It was mere curiosity. I am all too aware of how our busy lives can get away from us sometimes. I would love to take a peak at the nearly finished product...

Sorry folks, been in hibernation.
First draft is available now but its not quite sorted - I last played with it a few weeks ago but was not able to get all the photos to fill the page (ie so no white border) - some originals emailed to me are obviously a different size photo. Not happy with it and gave up for a while.
We have 2 choices - buy it as it is from Carefpress.com (you'll need my password to view it - send me a PM). Better still, anybody got any ideas how I fix these last few issues? - calendar would look much better if all phots were the same size .
I think it would be good to get the 2010 calendar by 2010 !
One last effort needed....any offers of help out there?

that's 3 of us then.
Have decided to forget about collecting the location names and just add the names of contributors since I have all those.
At least this will allow me to finish the calendar.

surprised you've got any space left - assume it is full of photos already.
Hope you don't mind but decided to use my own bike phot for the rear cover, that still leaves you with 2 I think (decided to follow your suggestion,... even though your phots are better than mine. (Editor priviledge
