Dear CP lovers,

since 2007 the German Carnivorous Plant Society (G. F. P. - Gesellschaft für Fleischfressende Pflanzen im deutschsprachigen Raum e. V.) yearly publishes a calendar of photos of carnviorous plants taken by society members and also other skilled photographers printed in very high quality. Some of you surely know about this and have also purchased one or the other of these calendars.

I´m happy tp present you the calendar for the year 2011:

Edited: I´m sorry, I have lost my web account. Please visit this page to see previews of the calender 2011 - http://forum.carnivoren.org/index.php?/top...-kalender-2011/

It´s 44 x 34 cm in size, printed on 250 g glossy photo paper, 13 sheets (title plus 12 months), process-colour printing, double loop wire binding with hanger, black back cardboard 380 g, transperancy film covering title

Run: 300 copies

Price: 15,00 EUR (equals £ 12,55)

Available at: andreas.eils[@]freenet.de (delete the brackets in front of and behind the "@" in your address line, please) :-) I have not activated Spam filters to make sure everyone who seriously wants to get a copy of the calendar will reach me via his email address. But I want to annoy Spam robots, I hope you understand. Alternatively you can use the forum mail function or personal message of CPUK forum to get in contact with me.

Shipment has started on 9th August.

Shipment costs:

1 copy can be sent as extra large letter for 6,00 EUR everywhere in Europe (also Switzerland and other non EU countries).

Special service +2,05 EUR for registered mail (you will get your calendar from your post man by your signature) - only if requested! ;-)

2 copies are best shipped as an extra letter each for 6,00 EUR everywhere in Europe. 3 - 6 calendars need to be shipped as a parcel for 17,00 EUR postage inside European Union.

Outside Europe it´s of course even more expensive! There are various zones for the rest of the world for the German Post with graduated shipment costs.

1 copy of the calendar can be sent for 12,00 EUR postage worldwide. Registered mail +2,05 EUR if requested!

2 copies are best sent as single packets for 12,00 EUR each, because the only alternative would be a registered parcel for 30,00 EUR - sheer madness!

After mail order (email) you´ll receive a reply your order has entried. I have not installed an auto reply so it may take a couple of hours `til I reply. If you shouldn´t receive a reply from me within 24 hours please contact me here on board on this thread or via pm. In that case I haven´t received your email order for what reason ever.

By your order please give me the name (at least surname) of the addressee (most likely yourself) and his (your) full address including the country you live in. And please mention the number of copies you wish to have.

Payment is possible via international bank transfer or by PayPal (additional fees are due - normally 1,9% to 3,5% of the total amount you transfer + 0,35 EUR). With your calendar(s) you will receive an invoice with the payment modalities. Usually it´s not necessary to pay in advance.

We strongly discourage from cash payment as that would have to be done at your own risk! If you have the possibility to send cash by registered mail it may be an option. In case bank transfer or Paypal would be impossible for you.

I hope I have announced all relevant details on this calendar and how to get it. If not please ask me I´m a very patient man! ;-)

For more images of the calendar please visit: http://forum.carnivoren.org/index.php?/top...11/page__st__60

The calendar is bilingual (German/English). You´ll see the abbreviations of the weekdays (Monday to Sunday) (upper line German, lower line English), the calender weeks below and the number of the days in the last line. Here´s a cutout you can see it more precisely. :-)

All important German bank holidays are also mentioned.

On the back side of the title you´ll find an imprint also in German and English which gives you an overview of the photos and the photographers and also details about the shown plant(s) and the location where these pictures were taken.

*Uff* A lot of stuff to tell you.

I hope you´ll enjoy the calendar.

Kindest regards from the calendar team

Carsten Paul (1st chairman of the G.F.P.)

Ansgar Rahmacher (2nd chairman of the G.F.P.)

Robert Severitt (designer of the calendar)

Andreas Eils (distribution)

Last edit: The last 25 copies are available! 29-11-2010, 7 pm GMT

Hi Andy,

I sold also the GFP Calender at the ICPS-conference at Leiden 2 weeks ago. The chairman of the GFP, Carsten, bring 3 boxes of calenders for sale. At the plantsale of the ICPS-conference we had a dry corner selling books and seeds from everyone, so no contact with plants to provide the books getting wet or dirty.

I believe I sold about 24 calenders during the weekend of the Plantsale and gave the money to Carsten. I also bought 5 myself for re-sale for our members (Carnivora). There only 2 left by now.

Good work, guys, to make a very good calender every year.

Take care,

Wouter Noordeloos

"Nepenthes rajah" about the first picture told me Wouter, I remember...

Wait...Nepenthes rajah on the first photo?....nooooooooooooooo.....it must have been the wrong calendar then....d´oh!

:yes:

Thanks for all the nice feedback about the calendar. So far there have been very few orders from other countries. Perhaps many people are still unsure...perhaps it´s just too early for thinking on a calendar for 2011... :nono:

Anyway here´s another example from the calendar 2011 which may make you a little more drool.

Hello,

I have a question for our forum users from the United States Of America:

I have got an email request for the GFP calendar 2011 from Bob and Cindy living in the USA. However I cannot reply to their mail. The replies repeatedly turn back with the message: "Mail Delivery Failed: Your IP is on our block list!"

Does anyone know Bob and Cindy? And can you perhaps inform them about my problems to reply to their mail?

Thank you very much.

Andreas

ME AGAIN!

Just want to announce the GFP calendar 2011 is sold out now! :cheers:

We have only copies left which have slight defects. These are sold for a reduced price of 10,00 EUR. The defects are not too obvious, just a kink at the edge or some scratches or falsely inserted hangers which make turning the sheets a little complicated.

This is our most successful calendar. It´s the first time in five years we sold our calendar out. :eek:

Merry Christmas to all!
