Morag,

Any guidance? Anyone got any ideas?

I was thinking something like

"This charity calendar has been produced by underwater photographers from the forum Yorkshire Divers (http : // www .yorkshire-divers. com)* in aid of the RNLI. The RNLI is the charity which saves live at sea and is run purely on donations. The profits from the sale of this calendar will be used directly to provide crew training."

*spaces removed on the final version but if I didn't have them here, then it would show the linked words.

Using the words proceeds from sale rather than profit would be better, i think.

The strap line on the RNLI website is 'The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea'

(being picky, using 'which' is grammatically incorrect

)

As our money goes towards crw training, using the words 'train one, save many' might be an idea, but it might be tricky to work into the existing text, which is fine..

Just to be even pickier.... can the words 'Yorkshire Divers' go above ' 2009 Calendar' ?

That is somewhat harder as the logo is black and I can't work out how to colour it without buggering it up!!

Wording look fine, perhaps the only thing I might have writted differently is:

This charity calendar has been produced by underwater photographers from the Yorkshire Divers forum (http : // www .yorkshire-divers. com)* in aid of the RNLI.

Just moved the word forum as I think it sounds better.

How's this logo?

I just ran the one Jay sent me through Irfanview. Or has he got a hi-res version of the one on the forum banner as that looks great.

Found a way in PSCS3 now, just need to work out what the shade of blue should be!!

Unfortunately not, and I don't have time to f**k around learning how to do it PSCS

It isn't quite the right blue, and i think the words ought to be in blue as well, and you need to change 'which' to 'that' so that it reflects the RNLI statements. Sorry, that sounds picky

Still waiting for Pro4sport and LHC to come back to me. Not impressed with LHC

Might speak to James at Amphibian and see if he wants to jump in.

Haven't heard from David at Pro4 either Arfie despite another email this morning

Hi Gareth

Please put London Hyperbaric Medicine ltd down for a Month, if we are not too late one of the summer time ones

Regards

Steve McKenna

Unfortunately Steve only works there part-time which I didn't realise until I spoke to the LHC today

Sorry- I missed one - it also should be (imv) proceeds, not profits.

I would have gone for a deeper blue, if you are colour picking, try the blue used on the bar where it says YD Store etc.
