Summary
Right. I have spoken to His Leggness, albeit briefly, and had a bit of feedback from a tiny number of people. No one seems against this idea, so I'm going to do it. Dellzeqq was pleased that I'd do all the work and that no profits were involved.
What you do
Nothing. Obviously, you don't have to do anything about it at all. So if you're not interested, look away now.
I'll sort out a calendar by putting photographs into a Truprint "project". If you take a look at the finished product and like it, then buy one. All money goes to Truprint, I don't handle a farthing. The idea of adding a surcharge to the cost of the calendar and then that surcharge going to a charity has been dropped. So what you pay goes to Truprint and no one else. Truprint print it off and post it to you. The End.
What now
So we need to decide what pix to put in the calendar.
I suggest you email me with the pix you want to be considered - or put them up here so others can see them. Then there'll be some sort of "voting". I'm not sure how but FNRttC peeps seem pretty good at expressing their opinions, so we'll jump off that bridge when we come to it.
The Rules
(Rules? This is the FNRttC
)
I'd like to say that as a general rule there should be FNRttC peeps in the photos, and it'd be nice if the January picture for 2012 was from a January ride of a previous year. I don't think this will be possible in all cases. Underneath each pic there will be a line of explanation: such as:
"Sunrise, Saturday October 15, 2011. Going up Ditchling Beacon after a night when the temperature dropped to 2 degrees C. Photo: Martin Thomason"
or
"Dawn, Saturday March ?. Essex tree containing a witch. Photo: Swarmcatcher"
That sort of thing.
TimD and Els have sent me some pix cos I asked for them. The rest of you now get your thinking caps on and get some pix up so we can argue about them.
Finally the boring bit
If you send me a version of your photograph, I'll put it in this calendar and users of the internet will be able to buy the calendar - not just FNRttC peeps. You will keep the copyright and it'll appear in the calendar with your permission and it'll say Photograph: yourname here. that's all it'll be used for. You don't get paid for it. There's no profit in this.
any questions, PM me.
I hope to get this sorted with 5 weeks so you can order some for Christmas and obviously before the New Year starts
Er, that's it.

I agree about deciding which are appropriate and hope very much that peeps will express opinions on the pix put forward for consideration.
Furthermore, it might be possible that ones slightly out of focus or a bit dodgy can be fixed by a bloke who sits next to me at work
Obviously we need loads of pix to look at.

I don't think we'd want a calendar full of nice dawns would we? I was thinking of a few with FNRttC jerseys in them, some off the bike, the usual ones of people asleep in the sun (naming no names, Frank), a few dawns, a bit of mist, Simon (obviously - perhaps on the cover) - after all, we need only 12 decent ones for the months, plus one on the cover.
At a pinch we could just bung that one of TC on the cover in a desperate attempt to increase sales.....

See Mistral @ #440 on FNRttC Brighton thread (https://www.cyclechat.net/) for an excellent selection.
Also Chris By's @ 426 on same thread - for cover or january? for that is where we start.
Are there ANY of His Dellness as he seems to be highly elusive when cameras start rolling - excepting those where he's 'resting his eyes' at a coastal hostelry?!!

yes indeed, some on a bike riding uphill in the rain. some surrounded by vast numbers of admirers. some, it has to be said, asleep in the sun. not all are likely to make it into the calendar though.......
take a look here, it's coming along. more pix needed though.....

My browser isn't liking the flashplayer thingy on the Truprint site, but it sounds like a good plan.
Misty dawns and views from the Beacon are all good, I reckon. There should be at least one shot that's all about moonlight - someone had some nice ones of Turner's Hill - might've been Tim Decker or Andrij? And if course Tim D's TEC photo is a bit of a classic.
Tim H has some nice portraits - these being my favourites:
I've got a few that aren't really up to it photographically, but capture some nice FNRttCness. Others might have some better-quality equivalents:
It goes without saying that we should also raid Teef's photolibrary.
