Sam Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Has anyone ever thought about selling Broads themed Christmas cards and calendars to help boost funds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 There was always calendars but stopped about two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Forum members supplied photos for the calendar. It does take a lot of work and organisation and it may already be too late to do it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclemike Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 we used to run a calendar but the take last time was so poor that we almost lost money so the idea died a death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it does and it kind of is. Calendars should be wrapped up by July really in order to get a good sales run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Oh well, it was just an idea. Christmas cards would be nice too. Perhaps someone will take it on for next year. Hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 If we had a car I’d be more than happy to help but without one I don’t know what use I could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Not NBN but the Broads society and Norfolk wildlife trust do cards and calendars. Also RNLI so to I think Hemsby inshore Rescue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 It would be lovely if someone with the know how could set up an e-calendar and e-cards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 I really don’t like e-cards. I also know that people think they are more eco friendly but if I receive a card I want to be able to display it. My grandchildren love opening their cards and if it’s personally signed it makes it more special. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBerkshireBoy Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 With all the bother and costs of driving, parking, walking, selecting, queing to pay, walking, driving, writing, buying stamps and walking to post cards all for a few days or as with birthdays it`s all for one day then Bah Humbug to it all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Perhaps a competition could be organised for next year asking members to submit one Broads related Christmassy photo and the winning 5 could be used for the front of the cards. I’d be only too happy to try to organise the printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
