Charity Calendar

couscous007

I am hoping that someone can help!!??

I have offered to do help a local school (TY year) who are doing a chairty calendar. I am giving my photography skills for free. But they (the TY year) have been constantly coming up blank in trying to source someone to do the calendars cheaply.

The school is insisting that the calendar will NOT sell for more than 8 Euro. So it doesnt leave much scope for them.

Can someone please advise on where to go to get them printed - if someone wants to do it free (long shot I know) I'd be very grateful. I'm meeting with the school later this evening!?

All help greatly welcome

Thank you

€8 aint much room for movement

best suggestion I could make is try to sell adverts on each of the calendar months in order to minimise costs - sell these to local businesses or if a parent wants to sponsor a month they can do that too.

I'm guessing a small print run?

DIY Job. Printer (may be wrecked at the end), ring binders and binding machine, good quality paper, stiff card for backing, clear plastic to overlay on cover. Lots of elbow grease. Sorted.

They won't win any production prizes but they'll be fine for purpose of selling to mam and dads - infact maybe even more valuable as they will be a direct product of the TY students efforts.

I was that soldier. Same problem - small print run = too dear to be worthwhile. Never again

How about these desk calenders

Was given one last Christmas.

A handy thing is the ability to add text to any dates which may be of special interest such as birthdays etc, (perhaps a school could put in it's holidays?)
