Hell Raiser!

Yeah why not

a couple of volunteers

and no i certainly do not mean me!!

Yer this idea was around last year as well, If someone wants to run with it and sort everything out im sure people would volunteer. There was a pic thread somewhere where people put there pics up to go in the calender.

I could do one with me and my crippled SV

Please note:

As when this idea came 'round previously, we declined the opportunity to get involved. If anyone wants to have some fun off their own bat, naturally that's fine, but SV650.org cannot sanction the publishing of any material that has the SV650.org logo and/or purports to be authorised by SV650.org.

The costs and organisation of putting together a calendar is far more work than most people realize, not only are there copyright permissions needed for every photo (with the requirement for a signed model release form), but print costs, design, distribution, and of course an opening and running of a bank account (particularly if the proceeds of any profits — should they actually be made — are intended to be donated to an agreed charity). It may sound a fine and fun idea, but please consider the realities involved. And your respect for our wishes not to be mentioned or directly represented would be most appreciated.

The forum administration don't wish to appear "party-poopers" but there are sober ramifications that we have duly considered in the past, and therefore prefer not to enter into, regarding ventures of this sort.

OK fair enough. I do still like the idea of pulling something together from the group - or doing something together for a charity of somesort.

Copyright - always remain with the photographer, forms are easy enough to print and completion on finalised product remain with them.
Model release forms - stack in house on paper and email.
Print cost - there are companies which work from the web that print on demand therefore can eliminate distribution, promotion costs.
many of us on the site probably have qualities/skills that would enable us to complete.
If it goes ahead then fine sv650.org will not be mentioned and I think therefore that neither will the site recieve any of the profits. Which as a whole defeats the whole purpose as we get told that it is our site we make it yet we can't fundraise and ensure its future.

Or at least we can't fundraise for it in it's name. I'll post further comment later - running out to wine & dine the lady Quedos...............

I'm sure you are still hunky in your own way - if we all liked the same thing it would be a very boring place
