2018 Calendar
« on: July 20, 2017, 20:13:35 PM »
Sadly, we have been unable to secure sponsorship for the 2018 calendar, which I guess is a sign of the times with local business, & have, therefore, taken the decision that it cannot be produced. I'd like to thank everyone that submitted photos, I really enjoyed seeing them & perhaps we can use them for 2019

What a real, real shame Liz. The 3Cs were one of the first charities to produce a calendar (I think FIG may have produced one in the early years) and although I am biased I personally think that the 3Cs calendar was the best around. It also provided amateur photographers/holiday makers the opportunity to get their pictures published. It also provided good income for the charity to help the children.
As you say it is a sign of the times but it will be sadly missed this year as many people sent out a 3Cs calendar instead of a Christmas card. However I know to get such a professional calendar printed costs lots of money and takes lots of hard work and if the sponsors are not forthcoming ............

Very sad to read - as well as making much needed money for the charity, it was a great publication. My daughter Robyn had her photo in it and she was so proud (she spilled a tear or two when I told her) - as Chrissie said it was great to have photos from keen amateurs who love Calis.

I have been in contact with Liz already, to see if we can help but it seems the decision has been made.

Thank you to everyone for this 3C calendar era - we have all of them as collectors items  :)

Very sad.  I was pleased to have my photographs in there too.  I am sure we could have got together to donate for the printing.  However, if they have made the decision we must abide by that.

I have had a photo nearly every year in the calendar.  Sad that it has come to this.  Hopefully next year it may come to print.

Do we know the cost to sponsor it on behalf of the 3Cs I'm sure we could all rally round ?

CBF calendar, all profits to one of the local charities?
